Effective monitoring enables risk assessment\, early d etection\, and mitigation strategies that enhance coastal resilience. Comm on approaches for coastal monitoring include remote sensing\, data buoys\, autonomous vehicles\, and fixed observation stations\, which collectively provide valuable environmental insight for researchers and decision-maker s. However\, these systems are often constrained by limited power availabi lity\, high maintenance demands\, and restricted mobility\, which reduce t heir effectiveness in long-term and large-scale deployments. These limitat ions highlight the need for sustainable and adaptive monitoring solutions capable of operating in dynamic coastal environments. This dissertation pr esents the development of self-sustaining\, energy-aware coastal sensing n etworks that address the challenges of power limitation\, communication re liability\, and data collection scalability. The proposed framework integr ates energy harvesting (EH) sensor nodes with adaptive communication strat egies and autonomous data collection mechanisms to enable persistent and r esilient environmental monitoring. The system combines battery-less LoRa-b ased sensor nodes powered by ambient energy sources with a mobile gateway platform capable of autonomous navigation and data retrieval. The research addresses three key objectives: (1) enabling reliable communication and n etwork recovery under intermittent power conditions\, (2) optimizing energ y utilization through adaptive scheduling and energy-aware operation\, and (3) integrating autonomous mobile platforms for efficient and scalable da ta collection across distributed sensing regions. Collectively\, these con tributions establish a unified framework for sustainable coastal monitorin g that reduces reliance on fixed infrastructure and frequent maintenance. The proposed system supports long-term environmental sensing\, improves da ta availability in infrastructure-limited regions\, and contributes to enh anced coastal resilience through scalable and energy-efficient monitoring technologies.\n\nLocation:\nRFEB 108\, June 9th\, 10am-11am\n\n─── ───────\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://tamucc.zoom.us/j/9705132 2940?pwd=xTTrBomlQ1sQX1Xoz5NUoPgxR0C1PO.1\n\nMeeting ID: 970 5132 2940\nPasscode: 092286\n\n- --\n\nOne tap mobile\n+13462487799\,\,97051322940#\,\,\,\,*092286# US (Hou ston)\n+12532050468\,\,97051322940#\,\,\,\,*092286# US\n\n---\n\nJoin by S IP\n• 97051322940@zoomcrc.com\nPasscode: 092286\n\nJoin instructions\nhttps://tamucc.zoom.us/meetings/97051322940/ invitations?signature=cGZ28rlKTfrdk3cXBeXf1GvP5sOHPcGKVOUXepjnOyQ\n\n\n──────────\n UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E008000000003D8D0FC179F3DC01000000000000000 010000000B042FE27F8C3684DB401583B61A2B8D8 SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-US:Ruben Dominguez Dissertation - Energy Harvesting and Autonomous Data Collection for Coastal Resilience Monitoring DTSTART;TZID=Central Standard Time:20260609T100000 DTEND;TZID=Central Standard Time:20260609T110000 CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20260603T170009Z TRANSP:OPAQUE STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:0 LOCATION;LANGUAGE=en-US:RFEB 108 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-APPT-SEQUENCE:0 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-OWNERAPPTID:2124816321 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:TENTATIVE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INTENDEDSTATUS:BUSY X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-IMPORTANCE:1 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INSTTYPE:0 X-MICROSOFT-DONOTFORWARDMEETING:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-DISALLOW-COUNTER:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-REQUESTEDATTENDANCEMODE:DEFAULT X-MICROSOFT-ISRESPONSEREQUESTED:TRUE X-MICROSOFT-LOCATIONS:[ { "DisplayName" : "RFEB 108"\, "LocationAnnotation" : ""\, "LocationSource" : 0\, "Unresolved" : false\, "LocationUri" : "" } ] BEGIN:VALARM DESCRIPTION:REMINDER TRIGGER;RELATED=START:-PT15M ACTION:DISPLAY END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
