Overview
The Geolux LX80-S is an innovative snow depth sensor that uses advanced radar technology to accurately measure the distance from the sensor down to the surface of the snow.
Radar Technology
Unlike traditional ultrasound devices that require temperature compensation due to their distance measurement being affected by air density, the LX80-S radar is not impacted by such environmental changes. Moreover, ultrasonic sensors are more susceptible to negative effects from snowfall or icicles, which can form close to the device. The LX80-S radar uses advanced signal processing algorithms for precipitation detection, and has a narrow radar beam of only 5°, which prevents such issues.
Installation
Installing and maintaining the LX80-S is easy, and the device can cover a long detection distance of up to 15 meters. The radar technology allows for non-invasive measurement from above the snow, ensuring that the snow’s structure is not disturbed in any way.
Applications
The LX80-S has many applications, including continuous monitoring of snowpack buildup and melting, making it essential for meteorological monitoring, hydrological planning, avalanche warning, and ski resorts. The device provides accurate data on snow depth, which is crucial for many industries, especially those that depend on snow conditions.

Save our Bogs! Culture, Conservation and Climate Action in Ireland’s Peatlands
Characterized by long-term accumulation under waterlogged conditions, peatlands exist on every continent and account for 3-4% of the global land surface . Small but mighty, these often overlooked wetland environments are estimated to hold as much as one-third of the world's organic carbon in their soil—twice the amount found in the entirety of the Earth's forest biomass. While healthy peatlands can trap and store carbon, regulate water, and provide important habitats for rare species, human alteration has disturbed peatland carbon and nitrogen cycles on a global scale. Approximately 12% of the world’s peatlands have been drained and degraded through conversion for agriculture, forestry, infrastructure development, and other uses.

Sargassum Surge: How Seaweed is Transforming our Oceans and Coastal Ecosystems
Until recently, Sargassum –a free-floating seaweed–was distributed throughout the Sargasso Sea , the north Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. But in the space of a decade, this seaweed has, as one scientist remarks , “Gone from a nonfactor to the source of a terrible crisis.” Driven by climate change, anomalous North Atlantic Oscillation in 2009-2010 and a glut of anthropogenic pollutants, sargassum has proliferated. Seasonally recurrent mats as deep as 7m now bloom in the “Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt” (GASB), which covers areas of the Atlantic from West Africa to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Every year, millions of tons wash up along the shores of more than 30 countries . Dr.

Great Lakes Research Center: Designing Targeted Monitoring Solutions
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), the Great Lakes have more miles of coastline than the contiguous Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined and contain 20 percent of the world's freshwater, making it a critical region to protect and conserve. Continuous monitoring and data-informed resource management are key components of managing waters in the region. Hayden Henderson, a research engineer with the Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), designs and deploys monitoring platforms throughout the Great Lakes. With a background in environmental engineering, Henderson enjoyed the challenge of creating systems and making them work to obtain difficult, remote measurements.
