1. An environmental probe configured to be at least partially inserted into the ground at a location, the environmental probe comprising:
a nose cone configured to enable insertion of the environmental probe into the ground at the location, the nose cone comprising one or more dissolvable walls configured to dissolve to cause dispersal of a substance stored within the environmental probe at the location;
one or more environmental sensors configured to generate environmental measurement data indicating one or more environmental measurements at the location;
one or more wireless communication interfaces;
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the one or more wireless communication interfaces, and the one or more environmental sensors,
wherein the processor is configured to initiate transmission, to a remote device via the one or more wireless communication interfaces, of the environmental measurement data.
