The project aims to address the challenges of evaluating permafrost in Alaska by developing an automated control module. This module will simulate freeze-thaw cycles and monitor the electrical properties of permafrost in real-time. The system will include sensors to measure temperature, moisture, and electrical properties, and will be capable of logging data for analysis. The objective is to create a reliable and efficient tool for researchers to study permafrost dynamics and predict changes due to environmental factors. The project will involve designing the hardware, developing the software for data acquisition and control, and integrating the system components.
