Accounting For Altitude When Compensating Levelogger Data

As you know, Leveloggers measure total or absolute pressure. When submerged, they record a combination of atmospheric pressure and water pressure above their sensor. Because the intent of using Leveloggers is to obtain fluctuations in water pressure only, their data must be compensated for atmospheric effects. In order to achieve this, atmospheric… Continue Reading »

LTC Levelogger Junior Used To Monitor Hydrofracking In Elk County

The program includes the use of the Solinst LTC Levelogger Junior to monitor changes in water level, temperature, and conductivity in rivers and streams. Conductivity readings provide a general indication of the water quality, while the water level and temperature readings may be used to provide background information when any spikes or significant changes in conductivity readings are noticed.

New Biofoul Screen For The Levelogger

The new Biofoul Screen is designed to fit onto the sensor end of any Levelogger model. The natural anti-fouling characteristics of copper protects the sensors from build-up of unwanted microorganisms, plants, algae, or organisms such as barnacles or mussels, which could affect the reliability of the sensor readings.

Levelogger Proves Useful In Ecohydrological Research

Vernal wetlands are temporary pools of water that fluctuate seasonally with complex hydrological processes. They receive inputs from precipitation, runoff, and subsurface flow, and are influenced by geology, soil, and climate. This creates a unique habitat for diverse flora, amphibians and insects, including some threatened and endangered species. Continue Reading »

Regional Scale Groundwater Understanding: The Collection, Management And Analysis Of Data For Conceptual And Numerical Model Development, Application And Testing

Attendees enjoyed the presentation by Steve Holysh and Rick Gerber of the Oak Ridges Moraine Coalition. They presented work being done for the Region’s unique groundwater management program. Rapid growth and expansion on the Moraine triggered the program into action about 20 years ago, to more fully understand the extent, quality and movement of the… Continue Reading »
