COAST, or Carbon Observation & Autonomous Sensing Terminal, is a low-power, LTE-connected carbon dioxide monitoring system designed specifically for wetlands and remote sites. It utilizes advanced sensors and a secure cloud-based dashboard to deliver real-time environmental data.
COAST employs K30 CO₂ sensors along with MS8607 pressure, temperature and humidity sensors and DS18B20 soil temperature probes to accurately monitor atmospheric conditions.
You can view live and archived CO₂ and humidity data through our secure cloud dashboard at 'coast.naturedata.org/data'. Also, datasets are available upon request via the contact form.
Yes, COAST is designed to be flood-tolerant and is IP-rated for short-term flooding. It can be powered by either solar or battery systems, making it perfect for outdoor environments.
We welcome collaboration with researchers, conservation partners, and other stakeholders. Please reach out through our contact form for inquiries related to partnerships or sponsorship.
We provide documentation and a maintenance plan to ensure the longevity and functionality of COAST systems in the field.
