Overview
The Extech AC Circuit Breaker Finder/Receptacle Tester quickly locates 110V to 125VAC circuit breakers and fuses. The variable sensitivity adjustment is used to pinpoint correct circuit breakers. Bright red and green LED lights indicate if the receptacle is correctly wired or six fault conditions. To test, simply plug the GFCI transmitter into an outlet and trace for the correct breaker at the electrical box. The transmitter tests for reversed or open connections.
Applications
Applications include locating branch circuit breakers without flipping breakers to other circuits, confirming proper wiring during electrical wiring installation or repair, and testing receptacle ground fault operation. The transmitter and receiver conveniently snap together for easy storage

Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs
Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question.

Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. 
 
Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit.
