Intuitive, Menu-Driven Interface
The LI-COR LI-1500 is a light sensor logger with a menu-driven interface, making it easy to use. Attach LI‑COR light sensor(s) to the three BNC connectors. Log manually or use menus to set up one-time, daily, or continual measurement routines. Sampling rates and logging intervals are user-selectable.
Fast measurements (500 Hz)
Graph large data sets using LI‑COR’s FV7x00 software, available for free download. Also, view real-time light measurements, GPS data, and other variables on the eight-line display screen.
Global Positioning System (GPS) optional
The LI‑1500 features an optional global positioning system (GPS) for recording the location of measurements. The GPS facilitates repeated visits to the same location for tracking light levels over time. GPS data can be logged independently or with light data.
Weather-Resistant, Handheld Operation
The LI‑1500 features rugged housing and a compact design suitable for handheld outdoor use. A rubber seal between the two halves also serves as a shock cushion. The LI‑1500 is powered by four AA batteries providing over 80 hours of operation with typical usage or 40 hours with the GPS option turned on. Power can also be supplied from an AC wall outlet with the provided USB adapter.
Large Memory (1 GB)
With one gigabyte of flash memory, the LI‑1500 stores a large amount of logged data on an internal SD card. Store up to 100 sensor configurations and sensor-specific calibration coefficient information for later use. Download the sensor’s calibration certificate from the LI‑COR website. Enter the calibration coefficient (multiplier) and date of the last calibration just once. When attached to a computer, the LI‑1500 acts as a mass-storage device with a simple drag-and-drop file system. Logged data can be transferred to a computer with the included USB cable. Data is formatted for easy import. Configurations and sensor calibration data can also be transferred to a computer and then shared with other LI‑1500 units.
Connects to LI‑COR Terrestrial and Underwater Light Sensors
Use the LI‑1500 with LI‑COR sensors to log photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), global solar radiation, and light (the visible spectrum). PAR can also be measured along transects under a plant canopy with the LI-1500. Connect up to three sensors at the same time. For instance, use two PAR sensors to measure incident radiation above and below a plant canopy. Features a built-in math function for measuring vertical attenuation using two underwater PAR sensors. The three input ports also allow for the measurement of incident PAR above water while measuring simultaneous upwelling and downwelling PAR below water.

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.

Onset HOBO RX3000 Remote Soil Monitoring Station
The Onset HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station is an environmental monitoring system that continuously logs data from compatible sensors that measure soil moisture, water level, temperature and various weather parameters. With numerous options for remote monitoring systems, Onset provides a Build-a-system configurator to help with ordering a system fit for any project’s needs. The configurator easily guides the user through the process of selecting different types of communication, power, sensor and other site-specific requirement selections when building their ideal system. The RX3000 ships with mounting plates and hardware, rubber cable channels, rubber plugs, grease, grounding wire and U-bolts.
