Overview
The YSI ProQuatro, along with its Quatro cable, allows the use of 4-ports to measure temperature/conductivity, DO, and any two ISEs among pH, ORP, ammonium, chloride, or nitrate creating an extremely powerful handheld multiparameter instrument. Sensors are not included in meter purchases.
Versatile
Connect any Professional Series cable and probe option to the instrument and use the convenient cable management kit to keep everything simple and organized. Cable options range from 1-, 4-, 10-, 20-, and 30-meter choices (up to 100-meters on DO-only cables). Use lab or field probes and switch between the two quickly. The ProQuatro makes an ideal lab BOD instrument with the proven self-stirring BOD probe (EPA Approved). A complete family of accessories also increases the versatility of the YSI ProQuatro. Choose among accessories including carrying cases, flow cells, cable weight, belt clip, tripod, and c-clamp.

After 10 Years, Great Lakes Monitoring Program Still Adapting
The public knows much more about Great Lakes coastal wetlands than it did ten years ago. 
 
 In those ten years, the information gathered through the Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands Monitoring Program has led to and supported dozens of advances in Great Lakes science while helping nail down the shifting nature of ecosystem health for a vital part of the Great Lakes system. 
 
 “I probably get one or two requests for information a week,” Don Uzarski, director of the program, told Environmental Monitor. 
 
 The program’s most recent semi-annual report lists 40 scientific publications using the collected data. In addition, the data has been used in even more restoration projects, graduate theses and presentations.

The Lufft WS800 Multi-Parameter Weather Station measures a full suite of atmospheric parameters that provides all-encompassing data on the local environment, including a one-of-a-kind lightning detector. This compact, cost-effective sensor simultaneously measures air temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation, solar radiation, lightning, and wind with an integrated electronic compass. An internal fan and heater reduce the effects of external influences for accurate measurements during long-term deployments. The sensor can be easily mounted on a 2-inch diameter pipe above any local obstructions with the included bracket mount, U-bolts, and 10-meter cable. 
 
 Settings for the unit can be adjusted using the latest UMB-ConfigTool.

Monitoring Newfound Lake's tributaries allows the NLRA to better understand how these systems are changing and helps to quantify the impact that development is having on water quality in Newfound Lake. (Credit: NLRA) 
As many resource managers and conservation groups can attest, their work serves both the environment and the surrounding communities. Dynamic and healthy ecosystems can become center points for towns, cities, and entire regions—such is the case in the Newfound Lake Region, located in central New Hampshire. The Newfound Lake Region Association (NLRA) knows just how critical the preservation of the lake and surrounding watershed is for all members of the region.
