Harmful algae. The phrasing itself almost seems it would be an oxymoron, like harmful carrots or something similar. But it is real: Given the right circumstances (light, nutrients), all algae can bloom and some of these can become Harmful Algae Blooms...
A melting pot Researchers in oceanography come to the field from all sides: physicists, biologists, geologists, geographers, hydrologists, mathematicians and many more. As a result, there can be a confounding number of terms for the same thing. An example...
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 will measure a – generally small – portion of the forward scattered...
