YSI Integrated Systems & Services offers the ability to integrate a YSI field cable into a manual, hand crank cable reel assembly. This cable reel gives a customer the ability to conduct a manual profile of a water column using a YSI EXO sonde and a YSI handheld device. The cable reel consists of a slip ring containing 6 conductors specifically designed for the YSI EXO sonde. It’s designed to fit up to 500 feet (152 meters) in cable length.
A standard YSI field cable for the EXO sonde can be purchased at the same time as the cable reel. If the customer already has a YSI field cable that they would like to add onto a cable reel, they can send it in at the time of purchasing the reel and it can be installed.
The standard procedure is that a 10 foot section of cable will be cut on the handheld end of the field cable to be integrated into the slip ring on the reel. The customer may specify a different length that they would like cut at the time of purchase. The remaining length of cable will be installed onto the cable reel drum and integrated into the opposite side of the slip ring so that it becomes mated with the remaining cable to allow communication between the handheld unit and the sonde.

Combating Water Insecurity in Saskatchewan with Real-Time Data
The prairies of Saskatchewan can be described as one of the least water-secure parts of Canada, making water quality monitoring essential for informed resource management in a region already facing water insecurity. While natural physical properties worsen some of the poor water quality conditions in the region, others are connected to land use. Having grown up spending summers on the shores of Lake Huron, Helen Baulch, an associate professor at the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan , has always been dedicated to the protection of water resources. Looking back fondly at her childhood playing along the shore, Baulch also recalls the invasion of quagga mussels during her teenage years and watching the lake change as a result.

Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger: Boost your Turbidity Monitoring
The Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger is a self-cleaning turbidity sensor capable of internally logging over 260,000 data records. The sensor enables researchers, compliance officers, and contractors to monitor turbidity in various applications, from construction and dredging sites to wastewater effluent. Due to its narrow width, this device can be deployed in a range of areas, from small well spaces to rivers and streams. The stainless steel housing and built-in wiper allow the sensor to withstand long-term deployments and reduce the need for maintenance trips. The logger accurately records temperature and turbidity up to a depth of 50 meters.

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.
