The Internet of Things for Sustainable Community Development addresses the key inter-related environmental, climate change, energy, water, health, mining, agroeconomic, and cybersecurity challenges that limit the development of sustainable and resilient society. The aim of this book is to present an integrated depiction of how the Internet of Things (IoT) can stimulate the sustainable community development. The expertise across multiple domains including engineering and technology, ecosystems and natural resource management, environmental toxicology, human health, agriculture, mining, and urban underground infrastructure monitoring is introduced to examine important environmental challenges that can be solved with applications of recent advancements in Internet of Things.

In these domains, the sensing data is generated by a wide range of sensors, from point-based direct in situ measurements to airborne and remote sensing for global coverage through satellites. In each domain, the sensing requirements change considerably, stretching from plant level water status to field level soil moisture, and regional level cloud hydrometer to global scale climate crises and greenhouse gases. The integration of huge volumes of data being generated across these spatial–temporal scales is a major challenge. Moreover, the transmission and processing of this data in decision support systems to address sustainability challenges requires cross-disciplinary endeavors with expertise in sensing, wireless communications, systems science, and modeling, in addition to the specific domain knowledge. The Internet of Things has strong potential to foster the creation of these cross-disciplinary next-generation sensing and communication systems using IoT.
