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...
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...
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...
24th July 2020 In the last several years, Sequoia has introduced a range of new or upgraded instruments: LISST-200X, LISST-SL2, LISST-Holo2, LISST-ABS, LISST-AOBS, LISST-HAB, LISST-Black, LISST-Glider, Hyper-bb and LISST Horizon. Such an expansion increases...
This is a simple description. For detailed explanations see articles: Laser Diffraction-101 and -201. Particle Size Distribution (PSD) is a multi-parameter description of how the total concentration of particles is distributed into many size fractions....
