The goal of the Sitka Net project is to create a customized in-situ sensor system that allows for multiple potential landslide initiation points to be monitored. Existing solutions are costly, bulky, and hard to install, limiting the number of sites that can be instrumented. Each sensor node measures soil moisture and temperature, atmospheric pressure and temperature, humidity, well pressure, and rainfall. The node transmits the data wirelessly over LoRa to a internet connected hub which uploads the data in real time.
