Wave-Powered Buoy Deployed in Puget Sound

5 days ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

While the development of solar-powered monitoring systems has improved access to real-time environmental data, solar power is still limited by low light conditions, such as poor weather, nighttime, or high-latitude environments. To supplement these incumbent power solutions at sea, Ocean Motion Technologies has developed a small-scale ocean wave energy system that can be directly integrated with existing data buoy platforms.
Long-Term Monitoring in the Chautauqua Lake Watershed

Carbon and nutrients are the foundation of lake food webs and play an important role in the chemical and physical processes that shape aquatic ecosystems and various lake dynamics. Studying these cornerstones can help improve understanding of other lake conditions like harmful algal blooms, hypoxia, and phytoplankton community composition.
Restoring North Texas Streams to Historical Flows

2 weeks ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

North Texas is one of the fastest-growing regions in the state, an area that is expected to face increasing water needs. In order to meet these demands, the Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD) is building Lake Ralph Hall near Ladonia in southeast Fannin County, Texas. The lake has been in the works since 2003, with construction finally beginning in 2021. The population of the UTRWD is expected to grow 5-fold over the next 50 years, leading to increased water use.
Science for Science’s Sake: Monitoring Ocean Energy Availability and Gulf Stream Dynamics

3 weeks ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

By Samantha Baxter on June 4, 2025Scientific research often begins with a question, sometimes driven by a specific goal or application, but many scientists believe in science for science’s sake. Marine environments and physical dynamics like the Gulf Stream are popular fields of research due to their complexity and importance, presenting a unique opportunity to learn more about previously unexplored phenomena.
Monitoring Habitat Suitability and Water Quality in Northwest Arkansas Springs

Monitoring Mariculture in the Gulf of Alaska

1 month ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

The mariculture industry in the Gulf of Alaska has been steadily growing in recent years, guided by ongoing research to help refine farm location and cultivation practices. A subset of aquaculture, mariculture focuses on rearing organisms in the open ocean. In Alaska, finfish farming is illegal, so most farms cultivate kelp, oysters, or a combination of the two.
