Overview
The Van Essen Micro-Diver is the smallest Diver capable of accurately recording groundwater levels and temperature. The Micro-Diver is specifically designed for monitoring wells or drive-points too small to accommodate larger dataloggers. In addition to its compact size, the Micro-Diver’s memory capacity can store up to 48,000 measurements per parameter - almost one measurement every ten minutes for an entire year.
Compact Pressure Sensor
The Van Essen Micro-Diver is the smallest Diver with a diameter of 18 mm and a stainless steel (316 L) casing. The Micro-Diver is suitable for pipes with a diameter of at least 20 mm (0.787 in). The Diver consists of a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor and memory for storing measurements and a battery. The Diver is an autonomous datalogger that can be programmed by the user. The Diver has a completely sealed enclosure. The communication between Divers and Laptops/field devices is based on optical communication.

 Van Essen CTD-Diver Water Level & Conductivity Logger 
 
If you need to monitor groundwater levels and saltwater intrusion, injected wastewater, or contamination from chemical discharges and landfill sites, the CTD-Diver is a good choice. It features a rugged, corrosion-proof ceramic housing and is equipped with a four-electrode conductivity sensor to measure electrical conductivity from 0 to 120 mS/cm. There are two options for measuring conductivity: true or specific conductivity at 25 degrees Celsius.

The eight main Hawaiian Islands are made up of 15 volcanoes, six of which are active as of 2023 . Many locals live on or near an active volcano, making the monitoring and understanding of volcanic activity a core issue of public safety on the islands. Organizations like the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) have spent decades monitoring the islands’ volcanoes to protect the public, develop a deeper understanding of the islands’ volcanos and forecast eruptions whenever possible. 
 
Even those who live away from edifices like Mauna Loa often have connections to the people living near the volcano.
Read MoreCrystal Clear Problems: Impacts of Water Transparency in Aquatic Ecosystems
From crystal clear alpine lakes to muddy rivers and boggy swamps, water transparency is an easily observable water quality parameter to anyone who takes a few moments to peer into the (sometimes) murky depths. Water transparency varies dramatically based on the location of bodies of water among different watershed environments, but it can also change quickly due to a variety of internal and external factors. 
 
 At Miami University (OH), the Global Change Limnology Lab explores the many ways that water transparency impacts aquatic ecosystems. Operational for nearly 20 years, the lab trains undergraduate and graduate students and has conducted work from the midwest Great Lakes to Alaska, South America and New Zealand. 
 
 The Global Change Limnology Lab, headed by Dr.
