SMART DATA SUBSURFACE DATA REPOSITORY SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
First Claim
1. A method of providing sensor data analysis comprising:
- a) receiving environmental subsurface data at a first computer from a first entity, wherein said environmental subsurface data is acquired at a location via moveable direct reading sensors, wherein said environmental subsurface comprises an area beneath at least one of a surface of earth, or a surface of a body of water, and wherein said moveable direct reading sensors are placed in said environmental subsurface and said moveable direct reading sensors are in direct contact with at least one of soil, water, or vapor;
b) analyzing said environmental subsurface data via a data analysis system to obtain information about said subsurface data, wherein said data analysis system comprises at least one of said first or a second computer; and
c) providing said information to a second entity via said first or second computers or a third computer, wherein the second entity is the same or different than the first entity.

Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for source area contamination data acquisition, analysis and processing. The present invention leverages and expands direct sensing technology, knowledge and experience to provide detailed, real-time images of subsurface conditions. The latest technologies in sensors, digital processing, computation and 3D visualization are used to enable clients to work with a single contractor who can perform data acquisition, processing and analysis necessary to produce quantifiable, user-friendly 3D maps on a daily basis which can be delivered via the Internet and/or to mobile devices. This allows the owner and site project manager to make timely decisions as they guide investigation, remediation and monitoring efforts.
