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...
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...
When we think of pollution in our rivers, lakes, or oceans, we often picture oil slicks or floating plastic bottles. But suspended sediment is an important agent that must not be overlooked. Suspended sediment can act like a vehicle for pollutants, carrying...
These data show use of LISST-SL and -SL2 from bridges. For use from boats, click here. UPDATED 18 SEPT 2017 The LISST-SL2 instrument delivers the most powerful suite of sediment data. It is an isokinetic instrument (isokinetic means intake velocity matches...
