PyOPIA (Python Ocean Particle Image Analysis) was introduced in 2023. It is an open-source Python library for combing through large amounts of particle image data collected by camera instruments such as LISST-Holo / LISST-Holo2, SilCam, UVP-6 and others....
The Boycott effect refers to the substantial enhancement of particle sedimentation rates in settling columns that are inclined relative to gravity, compared to an otherwise identical vertical settling column. It was first observed experimentally by A....
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...
