-- Documents: Replace with the shared drive, GitHub project board, or notebook the group will maintain.
-- Meetings: Replace with the meeting schedule, format, and where agendas or notes are stored.
-- Collaboration plan: Add your working group collaboration plan, including group norms.
-- Collaborator requirements (non-team members): Add guidelines for how someone can join your work.
+EdgeSS brings together environmental scientists, data scientists, AI researchers, and cyberinfrastructure experts to integrate real-time sensor data, edge computing, and artificial intelligence for environmental monitoring and decision-making.

+EdgeSS will synthesize high-frequency data from the [Sage](https://sagecontinuum.org/) edge computing platform—a national network of edge-enabled sensor nodes—with existing monitoring data from NEON, AirNow, and citizen science initiatives such as iNaturalist. Sage nodes are field-deployable, GPU-enabled units equipped with pan-tilt-zoom and insect-monitoring cameras, microphones, meteorological instruments, and air quality sensors. By processing data on-site, Sage enables real-time detection of fast-changing environmental events and streams processed outputs to researchers and platforms without delay.
+
+Our three focal systems span the full range of Sage edge-sensing capabilities, including visual, acoustic, meteorological, and air quality sensors. The working group will develop and test synthesis workflows that integrate Sage-derived edge data with continental-scale ground-truth observations.
