Overview
The Geotech 3/4" FEP Reusable water sampling bailers are made of chemically inert, 100% virgin fluoropolymer resin. Bailers are available with a complete set of mix-and-match interchangeable components, making them ideal in all groundwater sampling applications.
Design
The opening is V-notched for accurate pouring. The rounded thread design allows easy, complete cleaning. The standard bailer body is 1 3/4" and is available in 1 ft., 2 ft. and 3 ft. lengths. Bailers are also available in 3/4" and 1" O.D. for use in 1", 1 3/4" or 1" diameter wells. The precision ground check valve stays confined to the bottom section to prevent loss. The special seat design prevents leakage and premature opening when emptying.
Mechanics
The Point Sampling top offers an added check valve that isolates samples taken at specific depths. The Controlled Flow Bottom controls the flow rate from slow drip to rapid empty. High-speed Sample Transfer Devices are available in several configurations.

Climate Change and Microplastics: Monitoring Lake Champlain
Most people go to Lake Champlain for its exceptional views and thrilling boating, but it’s also home to a wide variety of interesting aquatic research projects. From studying microplastics to thermal dynamics of the lake, Timothy Mihuc, director of the Lake Champlain Research Institute (LCRI) at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh (SUNY Plattsburgh), has spent his career studying aquatic ecosystems. 
 
 As an aquatic biologist, he’s the main investigator on Lake Champlain’s research studies while also managing their grants, employees, and their hands-on buoy work. 
 
 Over the years, LCRI has received a number of environmental grants that aid in its monitoring research.

On March 26th, according to The Baltimore Sun , a 984-foot, 112,000-ton Dali lost propulsion and collided with a support column of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, collapsing the structure. Soon after the event, search and rescue, salvage crews, and other emergency responders were mobilized after the collision. 
 
As salvage efforts progressed in early April, NOAA’s Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) responded to a request for real-time tidal currents data and deployed a current monitoring buoy—CURBY (Currents Real-time BuoY)—into the Patapsco River north of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Read MoreSoundscapes of the Solar Eclipse: Citizen Science Supporting National Research
On April 8, 2024, millions of people around the world had their eyes glued to the sky to witness a historic cosmic event. The total solar eclipse captured the headlines and the minds of many who became eager to gaze at the heavens as the sky went dark for a few minutes. However, not everyone used their sense of sight during the eclipse, some were listening to the sounds of the natural world around them as the light faded from above. 
 
 The Eclipse Soundscape Project is a NASA-funded citizen science project that focuses on studying how the annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023, and the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse impacted life on Earth. 
 
 The project revisits an initiative from the 1930s that showed animals and insects are affected by solar eclipses.
