PME Cyclops-7 Logger
The PME Cyclops-7 Logger logs data outputted from one Turner Designs Cyclops-7 sensor (sold separately). The PME Cyclops-7 may be connected to a standard USB cable for calibration and storing data.
Features
- Records sensor measurement, time, date, logger battery voltage and gain
- Sampling rates can be adjusted by the user, with a minimum time interval of 5 seconds
- Data are offloaded from the logger to a computer via a standard USB cable
- Expedited repair and warranty service
- Lifetime technical support

Overview
The PME Cyclops-7 Logger is a self-contained data logging package for unattended monitoring. The Cyclops-7 Logger software allows the user to conduct sensor calibration as well as create visual plots of the data collected. The software is easily installed and operated.
Durable
The outer case of the Cyclops-7 Logger is constructed from Delrin, a hard and durable plastic material that does not easily crack or break. All internal circuitry and sensor components have been specifically designed to fit on the logger's spine. The batteries, SD card, on/off switch, circuit board, and other components are attached to a chem film aluminum spine.

Sargassum Surge: How Seaweed is Transforming our Oceans and Coastal Ecosystems
Until recently, Sargassum –a free-floating seaweed–was distributed throughout the Sargasso Sea , the north Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. But in the space of a decade, this seaweed has, as one scientist remarks , “Gone from a nonfactor to the source of a terrible crisis.” 
 
Driven by climate change, anomalous North Atlantic Oscillation in 2009-2010 and a glut of anthropogenic pollutants, sargassum has proliferated. 
 
Seasonally recurrent mats as deep as 7m now bloom in the “Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt” (GASB), which covers areas of the Atlantic from West Africa to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Every year, millions of tons wash up along the shores of more than 30 countries .

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), the Great Lakes have more miles of coastline than the contiguous Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined and contain 20 percent of the world's freshwater, making it a critical region to protect and conserve. 
 
Continuous monitoring and data-informed resource management are key components of managing waters in the region. 
 
Hayden Henderson, a research engineer with the Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), designs and deploys monitoring platforms throughout the Great Lakes. With a background in environmental engineering, Henderson enjoyed the challenge of creating systems and making them work to obtain difficult, remote measurements.

Meadowbrook Creek in Syracuse, New York, has been monitored by Syracuse University (SU) faculty and students for over a decade. Originally established by Dr. Laura Lautz in 2012, the early years of the program focused on collecting grab water samples for laboratory analysis and evaluating the impact of urban land use, human activities, and natural processes on water resources. 
 
 Tao Wen , an Assistant Professor in SU’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, took over the program in 2020 and upgraded the existing systems to include 4G modems that allowed for real-time data viewing.
