Overview
The Onset HOBO MX1102 CO2 logger makes it more convenient than ever to measure and record CO2 in buildings and other non-condensing environments. It measures CO2 from 0–5,000 parts per million (ppm). The free HOBOconnect app allows users to access data right from a mobile phone or tablet within a 100-foot range. Remotely access data in Onset’s cloud-based HOBOlink software with the new MX Gateway.
Mechanics
The MX1102 also features a USB port, so it can be used with a computer running HOBOware Pro graphing and analysis software.

RH Sensor | |
Range |
1% to 90% RH (non-condensing) |
Accuracy | ±2% from 20% to 80% typical to a maximum of ±4.5% including hysteresis at 25°C (77°F); below 20% and above 80% ±6% typical |
Resolution | 0.01% |
Drift | <1% per year typical |
CO2 Sensor | |
Range | 0 to 5,000 ppm |
Accuracy |
±50 ppm ±5% of reading at 25°C (77°F), less than 90% RH non-condensing and 1,013 mbar |
Warm-up Time | 15 seconds |
Calibration | Auto or manual to 400 ppm |
Non-linearity | <1% of FS |
Pressure Dependence | 0.13% of reading per mm Hg (corrected via user input for elevation/altitude) |
Operating Pressure Range | 950 to 1,050 mbar (use Altitude Compensation for outside of this range) |
Compensated Pressure Range | -305 to 5,486 m (-1,000 to 18,000 ft) |
Sensing Method | Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) absorption |
Response Time | |
Temperature | 12 minutes to 90% in airflow of 1 m/s (2.2 mph) |
RH | 1 minute to 90% in airflow of 1 m/s (2.2 mph) |
CO2 | 1 minute to 90% in airflow of 1 m/s (2.2 mph) |
Logger | |
Radio Power | 1 mW (0 dBm) |
Transmission Range | Approximately 30.5 m (100 ft) line-of-sight |
Wireless Data Standard | Bluetooth Smart (Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth 4.0) |
Logger Operating Range | 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F); 0 to 95% RH (non-condensing) |
Logging Rate | 1 second to 18 hours |
Logging Modes | Fixed interval (normal, statistics) or burst |
Memory Modes | Wrap when full or stop when full |
Start Modes | Immediate, push button, date & time, or next interval |
Stop Modes | When memory full, push button, date & time, or after a set logging period |
Time Accuracy | ± 1 minute per month at 25°C (77°F) |
Power Source | 4 AA 1.5 Volt batteries (user replaceable) or USB power source (5 V DC, 2 Watts) |
Battery Life | 6 months, typical with logging and sampling intervals of 5 minutes or slower; 6 months or less with logging and sampling intervals faster than 5 minutes while logging CO2. Entering burst logging mode will impact battery life. With app use, battery life can be reduced by remaining connected, excessive readouts, audible alarms, and paging. Visual/audible alarms and other events can have a marginal impact on battery life. |

Have You Heard? AI Buoys Revolutionizing Marine Mammal Monitoring in Whangārei Harbor, New Zealand
In one history, Whangārei Harbor, nestled in the lush hills of New Zealand’s North Island, gets its name from the Māori, “waiting for the breastbone of the whale.” It seems fitting, then, that it’s now home to state-of-the-art acoustic monitoring buoys listening for marine mammals around the clock. 
 
In September 2024, a team from Auckland-based underwater acoustics firm Cetaware Ltd installed NexSens buoys in Northport, a major commercial port at the entrance to the Whangārei Harbor. 
 
The first buoys to be installed by Cetaware in a permanent setting running 24/7, they use real-time artificial intelligence (AI) models to passively sense Delphinidae–from common dolphins to orcas.

Human interaction has negatively impacted the hundreds of streams that run through Southern California. Man-made river and stream diversions, channeling, and damming have changed the physical and chemical characteristics of these waterways. In addition to physical impairments, climate change is increasingly impacting the ecosystems of streams. 
 
To evaluate and mitigate these negative impacts, local groups are monitoring the riparian habitats of these streams and are conducting water surveys that document rainbow trout populations and evaluate water quality .

Freshwater covers less than 1% of the Earth’s surface but has an outsized impact on global ecosystems, supporting more than 10% of all known species, reports the World Wildlife Fund . Freshwater environments such as rivers and wetlands provide significant scientific, economic, and cultural value. But pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and a lack of prioritization in environmental policies mean freshwater habitats are recognized as one of the most threatened in the world–something scientists have dubbed an “invisible tragedy. ”
