Van Essen CTD-Diver Water Level & Conductivity Loggers

Overview
The Van Essen CTD-Diver works wherever there is a need to monitor groundwater levels and saltwater intrusion, injected wastewater, or contamination from chemical discharges and landfill sites. The CTD-Diver is equipped with a four-electrode conductivity sensor that measures electrical conductivity from 0 to 120 mS/cm. There are two options for measuring conductivity: true or specific conductivity at 25 degrees C. Additionally, pressure and temperature are measured and recorded.

Questions & Answers
What software is needed for the CTD logger?
Diver-Office is a free software that can be downloaded on the Van Essen website. You can use the software to export data reports, visualize data and change logger settings.
How many measurements can the CTD Diver hold?
The memory capacity for the logger is 48,000 measurements.
Does the CTD diver need calibrated prior to use?
The logger is factory calibrated for temperature, pressure and conductivity prior to shipment. To calibrate conductivity in the field, a 2-point calibration (dry air/standard) can be performed to ensure accurate readings and a 4-point calibration will bring the logger up to specifications for the full-measurement range for conductivity.
Can this instrument be deployed as a CTD profiler? Does it provide real time data?
The Van Essen CTD-Divers are intended for monitoring conductivity, temperature and depth over a longer-term deployment. If you are interested in a meter that can measure these parameters in real time, with a topside display, the YSI ProSolo with conductivity/temperature probe and the option to add additional parameters later on. 
Are the DI27x CTD-Divers still available?
The DI271, DI271, DI273, and DI1274 CTD-Divers were discontinued in late 2021 and replaced with the newer DI28x models. Notable improvements include more memory, and a lower price point.

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.

Spring 2024 Environmental Monitor Available Now

In the Spring 2024 edition of the Environmental Monitor, we showcase researchers from across the world and the importance of monitoring natural disasters and the various symptoms of climate emergencies. Tracking the impacts of wildfires in Canada to air pollution in New York , this latest edition showcases how the influence of climate change and natural disasters transfers across state and country lines. Researchers spent the year gathering data, predicting disasters, and monitoring as a means of managing and understanding natural disasters. Our writers sought out environmental professionals dedicated to protecting human health , minimizing the impacts of natural disasters and creating monitoring systems.

Combining Academia and Lake Associations: Monitoring Lake Lillinonah

Lake Lillinonah may be Connecticut's second-largest lake, but it holds a great deal of meaning for locals and researchers in the surrounding towns. The lake is so significant to the surrounding community that it is one of many lakes in the United States with a dedicated lake association advocating for the resource. Jen Klug, Professor of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences at Fairfield University , started her career at Fairfield as a natural progression in her background as a classical aquatic ecologist and found herself working closely with Lake Lillinonah's Friends of the Lake (FOTL) when they reached out to collaborate on an algae presentation for a public forum back in 2006.
