Abstract
Advances in microsensor technology as well as the development of miniaturized computing platforms enable us to scatter numerous untethered sensing devices in hard to reach terrains, and continuously collect geospatial information in never before seen spatial and temporal scales. These geosensor network technologies are revolutionizing the way that geospatial information is collected, analyzed and integrated, with the geospatial content of the information being of fundamental importance. Analysis and event detection in a geosensor network may be performed in real-time by sensor nodes, or off-line in several distributed, in-situ or centralized base stations.
