Overview
The Heron H.OIL interface meter is a precision instrument used by professionals involved with the monitoring and remediation of groundwater contaminated with oil products. The meter will accurately measure the thickness of LNAPL layers floating on the water table as thin as 1mm. It will also detect and measure sinking layers of DNAPL.
Lightweight and Durable
With its slim 5/8" probe, the H.OIL is ideal for wells, piezometers and direct push equipment as narrow as 3/4". Certified intrinsically safe, the meter is suitable for use in storage tanks and areas where explosive gases may be present. The stainless steel probe and a Kynar jacketed, NTS-certified tape will withstand attacks by hydrocarbons, solvents and other contaminants. The meter is backed by a 10-year limited warranty, and the replaceable probe comes with a 1-year warranty.

The Birds and the Bees: Understanding the Diversity of Pollinators
Pollinators of all shapes and sizes are vital to ecosystems around the world. From the wide array of food people eat to the diversity of life around the planet, life would be very different without them. Pollinators are organisms that help carry pollen from one plant to another, and over 350,000 species can be found worldwide, according to The California Department of Fish and Wildlife . With the strong relationship between plants and pollinators, losing either would have detrimental impacts on ecosystems. Over millions of years, both plants and pollinators have evolved alongside each other and formed unique adaptations that allow them to work together, expediting and enhancing the process of pollination.

Monitoring Volcanic Activity in Hawaii: Safeguarding Public Safety with the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory
The eight main Hawaiian Islands are made up of 15 volcanoes, six of which are active as of 2023 . Many locals live on or near an active volcano, making the monitoring and understanding of volcanic activity a core issue of public safety on the islands. Organizations like the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) have spent decades monitoring the islands’ volcanoes to protect the public, develop a deeper understanding of the islands’ volcanos and forecast eruptions whenever possible. Even those who live away from edifices like Mauna Loa often have connections to the people living near the volcano.

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.
