The Hach sensION+ 5044 Reference Electrode is a double junction reference electrode with a glass body and internal gel electrolyte and 0.1M lithium acetate salt bridge. The reference probe has a large, replaceable ceramic diaphragm. The 5044 has a fixed 1 meter cable and banana connector for laboratory use with the Hach sensION+ MM374 Multimeter. The 5044 is recommended for use with all sensION+ half-cell ion selective electrodes (ISE) in drinking water, wastewater and general water quality applications.
The probe is easy to maintain and features a double junction design with internal gel electrolyte, making the 5044 difficult to contaminate. It's large ceramic junction provides substantial surface area for contact between reference electrolyte and sample, shortening the time required for measurement stabilization.

Ocean acidification: University of Washington's giant plastic bags help control research conditions
With oceans becoming more acidic worldwide, scientists are getting creative in designing experiments to study them. For example, one group at the University of Washington is using giant plastic bags to study ocean acidification. 
 Each bag holds about 3,000 liters of seawater and sits in a cylinder-like cage for stability. The group at UW, made up of professors and students, is controlling carbon dioxide levels in the bags over a nearly three-week period, during which they are looking at the effects of increased acidity on organisms living near the San Juan Islands. 
 “These mesocosms are a way to do a traditional experiment you might do in a lab or classroom,” said Jim Murray, professor of oceanography at the University of Washington.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists detected signs of ocean acidification in the waters that hold the vulnerable and valuable fisheries of the North Pacific off the coast of Alaska, but they only had a snapshot of the action. 
 
“We know that in this place were important commercial and subsistence fisheries that could be at risk from ocean acidification,” said Jeremy Mathis, a NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory researcher and professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. 
 
To understand how ocean acidification affects the North Pacific, NOAA scientists created a mooring network that collects constant in situ data on parameters contributing to acidification. They hope it will reveal seasonal trends and patterns left out by their snapshots.

Formed by a glacier, Jordan Pond is among Maine's clearest, most beautiful bodies of water. It's also a critical freshwater resource, and watchful eyes are protecting it. 
 
 EM spoke with Dr. Rachel Fowler, Friends of Acadia's aquatic scientist, about her work monitoring Jordan Pond. A postdoctoral research scientist at the University of Maine, she is a member of a partnership among the National Park Service, the University of Maine Climate Change Institute, and Friends of Acadia that began deploying the Jordan Pond buoy in 2013. Canon provided the initial support for the project. 
 
 Friends of Acadia is a nonprofit organization that supports different projects in the park.
