Overview
The Pro-Oceanus Mini TDGP measures the total dissolved gas pressure in liquids. It provides accurate TDGP data and is designed for use in aquaculture, dam spillways, groundwater monitoring and industrial applications.
Maintenance
Unlike other total gas pressure probes, the Mini TDGP is not affected by increasing hydrostatic pressure. The sensor’s semi-permeable membrane is also biofilm resistant. With periodic membrane cleaning and calibration checks, the Mini TDGP requires minimal maintenance.
Applications
The rugged Pro-Oceanus Mini TDGP sensor is designed for use in water, oil, and contaminated mixtures. The probe combines an oil-resistant membrane with a compact pressure sensor that provides quality TDGP data. The Mini TDGP sensor can be used for long-term deployments with simple, stable and accurate results.

Cross-Border Sewage Contaminated Flows: Monitoring the Tijuana River
The Tijuana River runs across the US-Mexico boundary, flowing into and throughout southern California, carrying with it nutrients and contaminants throughout the estuary. In recent decades, the flows have been heavily polluted with untreated sewage from the City of Tijuana. 
 
The wastewater enters the greater Tijuana River estuary, impacting coastal communities and disrupting the natural environment. In order to better understand these cross-border flows, researchers out of San Diego University sought to monitor the waterway test the capabilities of in-situ sensors to measure the contaminated water. 
 
Natalie Mladenov and Trent Biggs were two of the researchers involved in the project, deploying a real-time monitoring system in May of 2021.

Despite the bad rap sharks often get in the media, they are incredibly important to marine ecosystems. Still, sharks residing in coastal, high-traffic areas can pose a risk to public safety—as a result, shark tracking and monitoring projects are often conducted in these waters. 
 
Regardless of the bad press, biologists like Gregory Skomal, a Senior Fisheries Scientist with the MA Division of Marine Fisheries, have always been interested in learning more about shark behavior for the sake of informing conservation efforts. 
 
“I was passionate about sharks as a child. I wanted to be a marine biologist, and pursued it through my education and ended up where I am today,” recalls Skomal.
