Questions & Answers
Can I change out my optical sensors?
No, the C3 Fluorometer offers 1, 2, or 3 factory-installed sensors of your choice, but they cannot be switched or added once installed.
Does the C3 Fluorometer include a battery?
No, the C3 Fluorometer does not include a battery. However, an external lithium battery pack is available for unattended use of the device.
How many uses will one battery charge allow?
The optional lithium battery pack is rated for 10,000 data lines per charge. The battery requires 8 hours to fully charge.
Are any of the Cyclops-7 sensors compatible with the C3?
No, all optical sensor options must be ordered with the C3 for factory integration
Does the pressure sensor use up one of the optical ports?
No, the pressure sensor and mechanical wiper are installed separately during the unit's manufacturing, and they do not interfere with the number of optical ports chosen.
What is the detection limit for the Rhodamine sensor?
The optional Rhodamine optical sensor has a minimum detection limit of 0.01 ppb and a dynamic range of 0-1000 ppb.

REASON Project Puts Water Quality Instrumentation in Dams

Where and how to monitor water quality is always a challenge, particularly in complex aquatic ecosystems. The new REASON Project from a team at Clarkson University is working to demonstrate the utility of using water quality instrumentation in dams on major rivers in the Great Lakes system. Clarkson University Professor of Biology Michael Twiss spoke with EM about the new approach their team is taking at the Moses-Saunders Power Dam across the St. Lawrence River and the benefits the development of smart infrastructure such as this might offer. “The upper St. Lawrence River is defined as that which leaves Lake Ontario and is just upstream from the city of Montreal,” explains Dr. Twiss.

Solar and Wind-Powered, Algae Tracking Boat Trialed in Florida

Time is of the essence when it comes to tracking algal blooms, and people everywhere are looking for solutions. In Florida, scientists from Florida Atlantic University Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute (HBOI) recently trialed a solar-powered, algae-tracking sail boat developed by Navocean , Inc. Dr. Jordon Beckler of Florida Atlantic University (FAU) directs HBOI's Geochemistry and Geochemical Sensing Lab and spoke to EM about the trials and the boat. "This boat is so amazing when you see it in action," remarks Dr. Beckler. "Navocean originally contacted me a few years back about a demonstration when I was over at my previous institution in West Florida, and we brainstormed some scenarios for employing the boat for harmful algae bloom monitoring.

Looking back five years after Deepwater Horizon and the BP oil spill

The Environmental Monitor didn't even have a website when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded five years ago this week, killing 11 workers and leaving behind a gushing well that led to the largest-ever oil spill in U.S. waters. Not than anyone missed out from our lack of reporting on the event. The 24-hour news networks responded with wall-to-wall coverage, filling screen corners with live feeds of the seabed gusher or counters that ticked off the days, hours, minutes and seconds that the leak went unplugged. But the effects of the spill have lasted well beyond the life of the news cycle. Oyster populations declined in Louisiana after the spill, and though Reuters reports the cause is unclear, the oysters haven't recovered.
