Overview
The Turner Designs Cyclops-7F submersible fluorometer sensors are designed for integration into remote data collection and telemetry platforms. The sensors offer a unique combination of performance and size, making them very attractive for freshwater, coastal, and oceanographic environments. Cyclops-7F sensors are configured and factory scaled for the specific analysis of turbidity, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, phycoerythrin, rhodamine dye, fluorescein dye, CDOM, crude oil, optical brighteners, PTSA dye, or tryptophan.
Durable
The Cyclops-7F sensor features a locking sleeve Impulse connector with cable options available from 2 feet to 50 meters. The rugged stainless steel construction is designed to withstand most environmental conditions. Common applications include turbidity dredge monitoring, algal bloom notification, and dye tracer studies.

Wildfire smoke alters a lake's ecology from the top to the bottom of the food chain
Wildfires have been big news the last couple of years. Australia’s wildfires in 2019 and 2020 and the Amazon rainforest fires in 2021 made headlines around the world. The American west has had record-breaking burns in recent years, blanketing cities in dangerous amounts of smoke and sending haze across the continent to the east coast. 
 
While smoke has clear and apparent effects on the sky, new research finds it changed the ecology of Castle Lake, a freshwater lake in California, in 2018. 
 
 “There are some studies that have analyzed the effect of human health in respiration with the smoke of wildfire,” said Facundo Scordo, a postdoctoral researcher at the Global Water Center of the University of Nevada—Reno.

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.
