Questions & Answers
Does the recommendation of using only 1 barometric reference logger for all water level loggers within a 15-mile radius apply to all ecosystems? Are there any recommendations for use in mountainous streams?
Since barometric pressure changes with altitude, loggers that are deployed at different elevations will require barometric compensation from a weather station or barometric pressure logger that is at the same altitude. The 15-mile radius (or 1000ft change in elevation) rule applies to sites that have loggers deployed at relatively the same altitude. If the elevation is drastically different at each site, it would be recommended to use a barometric pressure logger at that site, in addition to the level logger.
Are the batteries replaceable in the U20L series HOBO loggers?
While the batteries are replaceable, they are not user-replaceable and will need to be sent to the factory.

Monitoring Water Pollution in Keweenaw Bay

As much as climate change and pollution impact current generations and present environmental conditions, the compounding damages will continue to wreak havoc against generations to come if no actions are taken. This idea is central for scientists who focus their research on monitoring, analyzing and responding to environmental data. Researchers like Dylan Friisvall, the water quality technician for the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC) Natural Resources Department (NRD) , have dedicated their careers to monitoring pollution and water quality in order to protect resources for the future. “One of the best parts of my job is just being outdoors, it makes my day go by faster because I get to enjoy the fresh air, and help do my part in protecting the environment,” says Friisvall.

Bringing Fish Back: Reviving Britain’s Freshwater Habitats with the Wild Trout Trust

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. ” [caption id="attachment_39210" align="alignnone" width="940"] Remedial works underway to shore up the banks of the River Ecclesbourne.

Monitoring and Facilitating Habitat Restoration Efforts in the Great Lakes

While human infrastructure, urbanization, and industrialization have advanced human societies, the natural environment has suffered due to constructed impediments and deteriorating architecture. In order to combat this degradation, habitat restoration programs across the US work to remove impairments and improve damaged waterways.
