Overview
The Gedotech Geosub Controller is designed specifically for use with Geotech's Geosub 2 Stainless Steel Pump. It provides a safe, conditioned variable DC output power from an AC power source. Built-in sensing gives the operator accurate and precise control over the pump during sampling events.
Battery Life
An average 1000-watt gasoline generator with 1 gallon of gasoline will operate the Geosub Controller and Geotech's sampling pump at full power for 18 hours continuously. Generally, much longer run times can be expected as the controller is used to reduce water flow for low-flow sampling.
Design
An easy-to-use programmable user interface with a bright display offers precise control over flow rates during groundwater sampling events. Site-specific settings and conditions can easily be stored and recalled for more efficient, repeatable sampling events. Rugged construction and easy-to-connect cables make setup and portability a breeze. In addition, the controller includes a user-set dry run protection feature.
Benefits
- Converts AC Voltage to variable up to 300-watt DC voltage output
- Short circuit protection for your safety
- Heavy duty rated power cable for years of service
- 2-line x 16-character wide temperature range alpha-numeric digital display
- Push button Up/Down control
- Internal processor saves individual well parameters
- Optional DC to AC Inverter can be connected to a vehicle battery

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.

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.

Meadowbrook Creek in Syracuse, New York, has been monitored by Syracuse University (SU) faculty and students for over a decade. Originally established by Dr. Laura Lautz in 2012, the early years of the program focused on collecting grab water samples for laboratory analysis and evaluating the impact of urban land use, human activities, and natural processes on water resources. Tao Wen , an Assistant Professor in SU’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, took over the program in 2020 and upgraded the existing systems to include 4G modems that allowed for real-time data viewing.
