Taking advantage of very accurate LiDAR and MEMS sensor measurements, the Skadi Smart Handle enables two core features: an Invisible Range Pole and Extensible Virtual Range Pole. First, the Invisible Range Pole is designed to continuously provide you with elevations to the ground while holding your Skadi receiver in your hand. It does this with a gimbal technology that acts like a plumb, so that your receiver always computes its elevation to the ground, regardless of its attitude (angle toward the ground). Next, the innovative Extensible Virtual Range Pole extends the reach of your invisible range pole beyond the position you physically occupy. Take advantage of this LiDAR-based, distance-measurement sensor that lets you capture nearby assets on the ground and in trenches without having to climb down into them.

Research in the Reserve: Promoting Interdisciplinary Conservation at the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve
On an early winter day in 1973, a helicopter buzzed over Durham, New Hampshire, just a few miles from the Atlantic Ocean. One of the helicopter’s guests, oil magnate Aristotle Onassis, owner of Olympic Refining, looked east of town and saw what he hoped would become the world’s largest oil refinery. Instead, he saw the Great Bay; thousands of acres of green coastal forest, mud flats, salt marshes, and estuarine tidal waters stretching over the land toward New Hampshire's small Eastern coastline. Onassis likely also saw a group of Durham residents staked out on the bay’s coast, ready for him to pass overhead. While out of place in the natural setting, an obvious message was spelled out in red paper: “Not Here.

Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU), based in Tallahassee, Florida, is the highest-rated public Historically Black College or University in the United States. FAMU’s School of the Environment (FAMU-SOE) offers BS and BA degrees in Environmental Studies, and BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in Environmental Science, with specialisms available in areas including Environmental Policy and Risk Management, Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecology, and Biomolecular Sciences. In 2021, FAMU-SOE deployed a NexSens CB-450 buoy in Apalachee Bay, a key oyster farming area around 30 miles south of Tallahassee. The buoy has quickly been incorporated into the curriculum, providing environmental insights for student research, the community, and beyond. Dr.

Northwest Arkansas has seen an economic, industrial, and population boom in recent years as a result of expanding businesses, which have created thousands of jobs in the region and the mass migration of employees and construction companies. However, with this growth has come rapid urbanization and the degradation of the natural landscape, specifically the freshwater springs that can be found throughout the region. These springs are critical habitat centers for native wildlife, home to threatened and endangered fish, and those that have yet to be listed. Zach Moran, Assistant Professor of Fisheries Science at Arkansas Technical University, is working to help monitor these habitats and provide key data that will hopefully inform future development in the region.
