Overview
The rapid exploitation of natural resources and escalating waste generation by human activities have profoundly altered ecosystems, raising urgent concerns about biodiversity loss and the long-term habitability of our planet. Environmental observatories are vital tools in this context, meticulously documenting the state and evolution of socio-ecological systems by capturing the complex interplay of matter, energy, and biota across interconnected environmental compartments. However, these observatories face significant challenges, including remote locations, limited access to reliable energy, and frequent maintenance needs, all while striving to minimize their environmental footprint. Our comprehensive survey of observatory networks in France (OZCAR and Réseau Zone Atelier) and Germany (TERENO) highlights a critical need for continuous, adaptive monitoring systems that can respond to real-time environmental events, especially as onsite technical staff resources decline. This website presents key findings from our survey, showcasing the potential of integrating Fog Computing technologies to process data closer to sensors, thereby enhancing system reactivity, robustness, and energy efficiency. For a deeper dive into the complete survey results and the transformative role of Fog Computing in environmental monitoring, please refer to the full paper here.
