Penobscot Indian Nation Safeguards Tribal Waterways
Tribal members of the Penobscot Indian Nation have long believed that the Penobscot River was the lifeblood of their people, providing food and transportation needed to support survival. Clearly, keeping water quality good in the river is of concern to natural resource managers with the tribe. But the Penobscot River is not the only waterway that flows through tribal lands. There is Dolby Pond, a prominent water body in the state of Maine monitored in recent years by a sensor-equipped floating platform, and many other streams and creeks that trickle through the nation’s territories. For these, natural resource managers make routine trips to monitor their health, relying on significant parameters like temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and pH.

Choosing The Right Thermo Portable For Your Project
With so many options in Thermo Scientific’s Orion Star A line, it can be difficult to narrow down which meter will best fulfill a project’s needs. One easy way to rule out some meters is by considering application type. For projects that rely largely on collecting samples in the field, a portable meter is clearly the way to go. But there’s still a handful of meters to choose from. To simplify making the right choice, we spoke with Ricki Hartwell, the global product manager for Thermo Scientific’s Orion Laboratory and Field Instruments. She recently shared her tips on choosing the right Thermo benchtop. Let’s take a look at her recommendations for selecting the right portable meter.

Data-Driven Decisions: Tracking Sediment during the Klamath Dam Removal
The largest dam removal in U.S. history, the deconstruction of the Klamath Dam is slated to begin this summer. The project includes four dams along the Klamath River with the first and smallest dam, Copco #2, scheduled for removal first. As each of the dams are torn down, scientists and consultants will keep a close eye on the state of the Klamath River downstream to assess the impact of undamming the river. Shawn Hinz, managing partner and environmental toxicologist with Gravity Consulting , has been involved with the Klamath Dam project for over a decade. Hinz was a part of these earlier steps, representing the academic stakeholder position as a graduate student sitting on a board of other stakeholders.
