Overview
The HOBO MX2001 water level data logger is designed for convenient wireless setup and download from mobile devices via Bluetooth Low Energy. The MX2001 consists of a top-end logger unit and water level sensor. The logger simplifies and lowers the cost of field data collection by providing wireless access to high-accuracy water level and temperature measurements right from a mobile phone, tablet, or Windows computer, with Onset's free HOBOconnect app. Direct-read cables (sold separately) can be ordered in lengths from 0.2 to 500m for deployment in a wide range of wells.
Benefits
- Integrated barometric pressure sensor enables direct water level readout
- Direct-read cable connects the sensor to top-end logger/transmitter
- Cables are reinforced with Kevlar
- Cables are interchangeable, so loggers are easy to redeploy in future applications
- Cable length can vary up to 3% from the length ordered
- Available cable lengths are 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 meters
- Reference water level can be entered at the start of the deployment
- Use HOBOconnect for setup, data viewing, and data sharing
- Several logging modes: normal, multi-rate logging and event-triggered burst-logging
- Durable ceramic sensor
- Available with stainless steel or titanium sensor ends
- 3-point NIST-traceable calibration certificate included for the water pressure sensor
- HOBO MX2001 consists of a top-end logger unit and water level sensor
- Two AA 1.5 V batteries

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.

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.

Lake Malawi (also known as Lake Nyasa and Lake Niassa) doubles as a Rift Valley Lake and one of the seven African Great Lakes. Due to its unique biodiversity, it’s a great place to conduct limnological studies. Harvey Bootsma is a professor for the School of Freshwater Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and has had an interest in limnology ever since he was a kid. Bootsma fondly recalls summer vacations to Georgian Bay, Ontario, “I probably spent as much time in the water as I did out of it.” He continues, "I remember telling myself, ‘I’m going to get a job where I can stay here all the time.’” While Harvey didn’t end up working on Georgian Bay, he was offered a job working on Lake Malawi. He continued working there while completing his Ph.D.
