Abstract
A technique for collecting environmental data from a remote region comprises use of a collector device with a sensor to collect environmental data and a memory to store the collected data. Collector devices are distributed to locations within the region, and the collector devices collect and store environmental data. Locations within the region are prioritized. Incentives are generated to transport environmental data based, at least in part, on the priorities. When a collector device is transported from the remote region to a location with connectivity to a host system, the stored environmental data is uploaded.
