Deploying a Sensor Network on an Active Volcano

I will describe our experience deploying a wireless sensor network on Reventador, an active volcano in Ecuador, which recorded data on hundreds of eruptions and explosions over a three-week period. Deploying a sensor network in such a hostile and remote environment involves many challenges, including capturing high-quality data on seismic activity, debugging the network over the radio, and slogging through jungles to reach the deployment site.
