Sequoia’s LISST-200X is popular amongst microplastics researchers. The instrument has been used to analyze microplastic particle distributions from disposable masks, investigate interactions between oil droplets and microplastics and measure microparticles...
In aquatic optics and phytoplankton ecology, chlorophyll-a has long been the go-to proxy for estimating biomass and productivity. However, as our understanding of aquatic ecosystems deepens, so does our need for more nuanced tools. One such tool is Sequoia’s...
Understanding the composition of suspended particles in the ocean is essential for unraveling biogeochemical cycles, assessing ecosystem health, and improving remote sensing algorithms. Among the suite of optical tools available to oceanographers, in...
As cities grow and landscapes transform, the effects of urbanization ripple far beyond skylines and traffic patterns. An often overlooked consequence is the increase in suspended sediment concentration in nearby rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. This...
In the underwater world, visibility is everything. Whether it’s a diver navigating murky waters, an autonomous vehicle scanning the seafloor, or a naval operation relying on optical sensors, understanding how light behaves underwater is critical. A...
