Overview
The Heron conductivity plus Level and Temperature Meter accurately measures conductivity, water level and temperature in wells, boreholes, stand pipes and open bodies of water. The meter can be used to profile conductivity and temperature to depths of 1000 ft (300m).
Design
The Heron conductivity plus uses a measuring tape with a high tensile steel core, tested for stretch resistance to ASME standards. Two seven strand stainless steel conductors add to the strength of the tape. The tape graduations are in decimal feet with markings at each 1/100th foot or metric with markings at each mm.
A super bright red LED and an 80dB buzzer are also housed in the module. The electronics are based on A/C current, helping prevent probe corrosion and fouling. All electronics are protected from dust and moisture by an epoxy-based conformal coating. The unit is powered by a single 9V battery also housed within the module. The standalone, sturdy steel frame is coated in Polyurethane for durability, and the vinyl-coated carry handle is ergonomically designed for comfort and easier rewinding.
Mechanics
The probe utilizes a four-electrode system comprising of two arrays of a single electrode within a concentric electrode. Water level is sensed when the probe passes from a non-conductive medium (air) to a conductive medium (water). The meter measures the temperature and automatically converts readings to specific conductivity values. Calibration is easy using readily-available 1413us solution. The electronics module houses an LCD screen which displays conductivity values up to 80,000 micro-siemens and a temperature range from 0 C to +50 C.

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.

Current Monitoring after the Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
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.

Soundscapes 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.
