It’s Time to React to Water Quality: Proteus Multiparameter Probe aboard NexSens Buoy

1 week ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

Water quality monitoring is essential for safeguarding public health, protecting ecosystems, and ensuring the sustainability of water resources. Contaminants such as industrial pollutants, agricultural runoff, and sewage discharge can severely impact aquatic life and pose serious risks to human health if left unchecked.
Great Lakes Research Center: Designing Targeted Monitoring Solutions

1 month ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Great Lakes have more miles of coastline than the contiguous Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined and contain 20 percent of the world’s freshwater, making it a critical region to protect and conserve. Continuous monitoring and data-informed resource management are key components of managing waters in the region.
Monitoring Meadowbrook Creek: Real-Time Data Collection in an Urban Creek

1 month ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

Meadowbrook Creek in Syracuse, New York, has been monitored by Syracuse University (SU) faculty and students for over a decade. Originally established by Dr. Laura Lautz in 2012, the early years of the program focused on collecting grab water samples for laboratory analysis and evaluating the impact of urban land use, human activities, and natural processes on water resources.
Lancaster County Makes the Switch to Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring Systems

1 month ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

Continuous data collection in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, started about 5 years ago, and the county will be making a major upgrade over the next year—switching from relying solely on the internal storage of water quality sondes to telemetry units that enable real-time data viewing. Since the Lancaster County Conservation District started monitoring county waterways, the goal has remained the same, according to Amanda Goldsmith, Watershed Specialist for the Watershed Department.
Watershed Stewardship in Minnesota: Protecting Valley Creek in the Land of 10,000 Lakes

1 month ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

The Saint Croix Watershed is home to dozens of lakes, rivers, and streams that host an abundance of aquatic life from its tributaries. Valley Creek, a tributary of the St. Croix River, is a designated trout stream and while it is a pristine waterway, ongoing monitoring and stewardship establish a baseline of conditions and protect the creek.
From Pans to Buoys: Advancing Reservoir Evaporation Rate Monitoring in Texas

2 months ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

In warmer climates like Texas, high reservoir evaporation rates can lead to declines in water level and water availability during droughts, making monitoring essential in order to ensure water security during times of scarcity. According to the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), evaporation rates in Texas were previously based on data collected from a sparse network of Class A evaporation stations, dating back to the 1950s.
Wildfires and Wildlife: Relocating Coastal Rainbow Trout to the Arroyo Seco Stream

2 months ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

Human interaction has negatively impacted the hundreds of streams that run through Southern California. Man-made river and stream diversions, channeling, and damming have changed the physical and chemical characteristics of these waterways. In addition to physical impairments, climate change is increasingly impacting the ecosystems of streams.
Monitoring and Facilitating Habitat Restoration Efforts in the Great Lakes

2 months ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

While human infrastructure, urbanization, and industrialization have advanced human societies, the natural environment has suffered due to constructed impediments and deteriorating architecture. In order to combat this degradation, habitat restoration programs across the US work to remove impairments and improve damaged waterways.
Buoy-Based Solutions: Strengthening Kentucky’s Emergency Response Efforts

Jan 6, 2025 | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

When Kentucky’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) has to act quickly in response to chemical and oil spills in the Commonwealth, they rely on small, easily deployable buoys to collect critical data that help minimize and evaluate damages in environmental emergencies. With a background in geology, Robert Blair primarily worked with groundwater and got involved sporadically with the ERT during groundwater contamination emergencies.
Monitoring OAE Efforts in Halifax: Fighting Climate Change with Emerging mCDR Strategies

Dec 22, 2024 | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

Marine carbon dioxide (CO2) removal (mCDR) is an emerging strategy that aims to fight climate change by taking advantage of the carbon capture potential of our oceans. There are multiple types of mCDR approaches being evaluated globally, one of which is ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE). According to NOAA, OAE aims to increase the pH of water by either adding alkaline material to ocean surface waters or by removing acid from seawater.
