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.

Collecting Data at the Top of the World: How Scientists Retrieve Glacial Ice Cores

A helicopter touches down in the small town of Sicuani, Peru, at an elevation of 11,644 feet. Earlier that day, a boxcar brought fuel, drills, food, and other equipment for a glacial expedition. The year is 1979, and glaciologist Lonnie Thompson is preparing to lead a team to the Quelccaya ice cap in hopes of becoming the first scientists to drill an ice core sample from this glacier. The only problem? The glacier is located at 19,000 feet in one of the most remote areas of the world. The helicopter takes off from the town, but the thin atmosphere at that elevation does not allow it to safely touch down on the ice– due to the aircraft’s weight, and it becomes unstable when the air is less dense.
