Overview
The Van Essen Diver-Mate Data Download Unit is designed for simple and fast download of Diver groundwater data logger data, increasing download efficiency while reducing data transfer errors. A Diver DXT-Cable is used for connecting it to the Diver. Equipped with Bluetooth, it offers a wealth of possibilities for forwarding data, cloud storage and assessing the status of the well. The Diver-Mate also shows the DXT Cable signal quality and the Diver data download progress if Diver and cable are working correctly.
Data Collection
With 16 GB non-volatile memory drive, the Diver-Mate has more than sufficient capacity to store the data of thousands of Divers. Connect the Diver-Mate to a laptop using the supplied USB-C cable. The collected field data can easily be imported by Diver-Office for further processing. The files on the Diver-Mate can also be accessed through Windows File Explorer like any USB flash drive.

Monitoring Meadowbrook Creek: Real-Time Data Collection in an Urban Creek
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.

Continuous data collection in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, started about 5 years ago, and the county will be making a major upgrade over the next year—switching from relying solely on the internal storage of water quality sondes to telemetry units that enable real-time data viewing.

 Telling Lancaster County's Story Through Data 
Since the Lancaster County Conservation District started monitoring county waterways, the goal has remained the same, according to Amanda Goldsmith, Watershed Specialist for the Watershed Department.

In the early 2000s, along the coast of northern California, where the redwoods dominate the forests, and the Pacific Ocean shapes shorelines, a Humboldt University undergraduate student took the first steps into a lifelong love of marine biology. 
 
Dean Janiak accepted an invitation to help a graduate student with fieldwork in rocky coastal tide pools, and so began a journey that led him from California to Connecticut to Florida and eventually to the world, where he has facilitated research in communities across the globe. 
 
While finishing up his masters of Oceanography from the University of Connecticut, Janiak continued researching fouling communities–marine life that live on hard, often artificial surfaces such as docks–at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center.
