Case Studies
A New Kind of Sentinel on Lake Superior
For more than 100 years, the Stannard Rock Lighthouse has kept a watchful guard over Lake Superior. But now, a new weather buoy is joining the watch in a remote part of Lake Superior, providing much-needed weather data to local mariners, the National Weather Service (NWS), and researchers. Scientists from the Superior Watershed Partnership (SWP), Lentic Environmental Services (LES), and the University of Colorado-Boulder deployed the buoy on the lake in 2017. Since then, it has provided continuous data from one mile north of the lighthouse. A popular yet potentially hazardous spot This portion of the lake has recreational, cultural, and scientific importance. Built on a large reef in a remote part of the lake, the light is among the most popular trout fishing and charter boat destinations on the Great Lakes.
Bermuda North Channel Dredging
Similar to how shipping vessels are getting larger and larger these days, cruise ships have too. Newly designed cruise vessels are longer, wider and packed with more amenities to give guests the best trips possible. But there are costs to larger ships moving in and out of the world’s ports. In Bermuda, an island nation whose economy runs on tourism, its ports have felt the impacts of the shift. Government officials there eventually realized that the larger cruise ships in construction these days simply couldn’t squeeze through their navigation channels. In response to this, the officials contracted a dredging company to clear out the nation’s North Channel area in October 2015. To minimize environmental impacts of the dredging operations, the government worked with CH2M HILL, an environmental consultant, to oversee monitoring efforts around the dredge. CH2M HILL contracted Bermuda Environmental Consulting to carry out monitoring around the operations, relying on NexSens data buoys to complete the work.
Kadettangen Beach Construction Project
Not far from Oslo, Norway, a massive effort is underway to expand a public beachfront. The work is taking place along an area of Oslofjord called Kadettangen, a small peninsula that juts out into the bay. Once the work is finished, public officials expect that the new beach area, along with other enhancements planned for the peninsula like bike paths and volleyball courts, will help attract visitors from near and far.
