Moored Sensors and Systems
Moored instruments remain in fixed positions for extended deployments in oceans, lakes, and reservoirs. They deliver continuous observations that help track seasonal cycles, long-term environmental changes, and ecosystem health across diverse parameters.
Sensors for water column profiles
Profiling Sensors and Systems
Profiling Sensors and Systems
Profiling instruments capture vertical profiles in lakes, rivers, and oceans, providing insight into water column structure and dynamics. They support research on circulation, mixing, and ecosystem processes in both freshwater and marine environments.
Sensors for autonomous platforms
AUV, ROV, & Autonomous Platforms Sensors
AUV, ROV, & Autonomous Platforms Sensors
Sensors integrated into AUVs, ROVs, and autonomous platforms allow autonomous exploration of both ocean and freshwater systems. These platforms expand research reach, reduce operational costs, and provide high-resolution spatial coverage for scientific and industrial missions.
Water sampling systems
Rosettes, Carousels, & Water Samplers
Rosettes, Carousels, & Water Samplers
Rosettes, carousels, and water sampling systems enable precise collection of water samples at targeted depths in freshwater and marine environments. These tools support chemical, biological, and physical analyses for research, monitoring, and data validation.
By the numbers
