Sequoia’s Laser In Situ Scattering and Transmissometry (LISST) particle size analyzers have significantly advanced the understanding of flocculation in aquatic environments. Since the mid-1990s, LISSTs have often replaced or supplemented older technologies...
…Wherein we’ll learn about the use of LISSTs during the Deepwater Horizon accident in 2010 (Part IX can be found here: https://www.sequoiasci.com/article/the-history-of-sequoia-part-ix/) Particle size distribution is important in many areas. When...
O-rings are so ubiquitous today – at least for all of us building underwater instrumentation for the underwater technology industry – that we generally think of them as something that has always been around. But that is not the case. The other night...
NOAA, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was founded in 1970 and thus celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2020. Learn more about NOAA and its story in this almost 200-page anniversary book. As a proud sponsor of the book, you can read...
