The Geosystems Sensing and Analytics Laboratory (GeoSAL) is housed at the Hearst Mining Building, about 1 min walk from Davis Hall. GeoSAL enables modern techniques for field characterization, in-situ testing, field sensing and monitoring of infrastructure and the geoenvironment.
GeoSAL promotes multi-scale, integrated, innovative sensing at the component (local) and system (regional) level. Key to leveraging the sensing capabilities is the ability to analyze big data collected by our sensors, robots and satellites using customized scripts and Artificial Intelligence algorithms.
GeoSAL houses a diverse and unique set of Field testing and Monitoring equipment that is used in support of our Research and Education Mission.
Equipment capabilities include:
If you are interested in collaborating with GeoSAL, please contact Prof. Dimitrios Zekkos or directly any of the Faculty members of the Geosystems Group.
Prof. Dimitrios Zekkos will deliver a State of the Art talk on "Autonomous characterization of full-scale field response of Municipal Solid Waste" at the Geofrontiers conference. The talk will describe the opportunities for better insights into the full-scale response of Municipal Solid Waste in landfills by incorporating autonomy. The talk will include specific examples of applications related to settlement behavior and methane emissions. T ...
