Understanding particle behavior in the aquatic environment is fundamental to unraveling key processes in biogeochemistry, sediment transport, and ecosystem dynamics. Since 1995, Sequoia’s LISST and Hyper instruments have become important tools for quantifying...
In the remote, frigid and – often – ice-covered waters of the Arctic Ocean and the Southern Ocean, complex interactions between physical, chemical, and biological processes shape global climate and marine ecosystems. Scientists use a comprehensive...
When designing a transmissometer or a laser diffraction-based sensor for particle size analysis, an important consideration is the beam acceptance angle. A transmissometer measures a—generally small—portion of the forward-scattered light: light that...
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....
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...
