Assessing Coastal Flood Vulnerability To Sea Level Rise Enhanced By Extreme Events In Preferential Flow Pathways

Building Community Resilience Community resilience in the face of sea level rise and extreme events, such as atmospheric rivers and highest astronomical tides (HAT), is a pressing concern for coastal regions worldwide, including coastal California. James Jacobs, a PhD candidate researcher at the University of California Santa Cruz and experienced hydrogeologist, is investigating whether utility… Continue Reading »

Polish Mining Institute Finds Levelogger Data Ideal For Precise Hydrogeological Monitoring

Researchers at the Institute of Open Cast Mining in Poland (Poltegor-Instytut) performed several studies to determine the suitability of Solinst Levelogger water Level dataloggers for hydrogeological monitoring of their mining operations. Through pumping tests and other studies, they showed that continuous, high-frequency water level data is critical to accurately track the effects of mining operations… Continue Reading »

Barometric Compensation And The Importance Of Barometric Data

Barometric Compensation Leveloggers measure total pressure (water column equivalent + barometric pressure). In order to accurately determine the true changes in water level only, barometric pressure fluctuations must be removed from the data. The simplest method to accomplish this is by the use of a Barologger suspended above high water level in… Continue Reading »

4 Simple Ways To Download Water Level Data In The Field

Solinst dataloggers are recording water levels in your monitoring well network, and it’s time to go out and collect your quarterly data – what options do you have for doing this? Solinst offers four standard ways to retrieve Levelogger®, LevelVent and AquaVent data in the field, without removing them from their monitoring location. Let’s discuss… Continue Reading »

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 »
