Processing Power
As the most powerful Cedar tablet, the CT8X2 is equipped with a lightning-fast processor to provide impressive speed, display performance, image quality, and more.
Versatility of Android
Running Android 10, the CT8X2 utilizes Google Mobile Services (GMS) to access and run a variety of applications available on the Google Play Store.
GNSS Capabilities
Built to utilize the powerful u-blox M8 GNSS chip, the CT8X2 provides accurate GPS positioning for geo-located data collection. While consumer tablets produce accuracy within 3-10 meters, the CT8X2 has accuracy up to 1 meter in open sky and 5 meters under a dense tree canopy. Need higher accuracy? Pair the CT8X2 with the affordable Geode Sub-meter GPS Receiver.
Sleek and Rugged Design
Providing a step up in durability from consumer tablets, the CT8X2 is rated IP67 – making it resistant to water and dust. While the CT8X2 is rugged to its core, the lightweight exterior maintains a sleek design. The CT8X2 was built for use in extreme environments, with the ability to operate in temperatures ranging from -4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 C to 60 C). A screen layered with Gorilla Glass makes multiple 1-meter drops to concrete without damaging the device.
Affordability
The CT8X2 offers added durability at a budget-friendly price when a consumer device just won’t cut it. Need to equip a large crew with devices? Quantity-based discount pricing is also available.

Crystal Clear Problems: Impacts of Water Transparency in Aquatic Ecosystems
From crystal clear alpine lakes to muddy rivers and boggy swamps, water transparency is an easily observable water quality parameter to anyone who takes a few moments to peer into the (sometimes) murky depths. Water transparency varies dramatically based on the location of bodies of water among different watershed environments, but it can also change quickly due to a variety of internal and external factors. 
 
 At Miami University (OH), the Global Change Limnology Lab explores the many ways that water transparency impacts aquatic ecosystems. Operational for nearly 20 years, the lab trains undergraduate and graduate students and has conducted work from the midwest Great Lakes to Alaska, South America and New Zealand. 
 
 The Global Change Limnology Lab, headed by Dr.

Lake Malawi (also known as Lake Nyasa and Lake Niassa) doubles as a Rift Valley Lake and one of the seven African Great Lakes. Due to its unique biodiversity, it’s a great place to conduct limnological studies. Harvey Bootsma is a professor for the School of Freshwater Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and has had an interest in limnology ever since he was a kid. Bootsma fondly recalls summer vacations to Georgian Bay, Ontario, “I probably spent as much time in the water as I did out of it.” He continues, "I remember telling myself, ‘I’m going to get a job where I can stay here all the time.’” While Harvey didn’t end up working on Georgian Bay, he was offered a job working on Lake Malawi. He continued working there while completing his Ph.D.
