Harmful algal bloom (HAB) monitoring has become a popular topic of research in limnology. While most monitoring efforts center on chlorophyll measurement, the real impacts of HABs are connected to the toxins produced by cyanobacterial blooms, which can be challenging to measure. Due to their impact on human health, establishing models that allow for the […]
Water quality monitoring in estuaries prior to the 1990s was labor-intensive and sporadic, as samples had to be collected and brought back to the laboratory to be analyzed using lengthy procedures with specialized equipment and reagents. During the late 1990s, new innovations in automated water quality sensors made it possible to take measurements directly in […]
The Great Lakes are in a state of rapid and continuous change resulting from a host of environmental and anthropogenic stressors. Such circumstances require unique, targeted monitoring solutions to meet environmental demands and continuously document these changes. Hayden Henderson, a research engineer with the Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), designs such systems, working with research […]
Syracuse, New York, is home to a number of urban creeks, ideal for monitoring the influence of human development on water resources. Syracuse University (SU) faculty, staff, and students have been monitoring the city’s waterways for over a decade, with Dr. Laura Lautz establishing a more formal program focused on collecting grab water samples from […]
For the first time in the UK, bacterial monitoring buoys deployed by Proteus Instruments and RS Hydro are helping to ensure that swimmers can safely enjoy a swim at their favorite beach.
The Cal State Shark Lab uses modern sensing technology to study the behavior of the growing shark population along the California coast.
