Overview
The Van Essen Baro-Diver ensures accurate capture of changes in atmospheric pressure. Conveniently priced and easy to adjust, one Baro-Diver covers a radius of up to 15 km, depending on the topography. The Baro-Diver can also be used for measuring shallow water levels up to approximately 1.5 meters.
Memory
The Baro-Diver has an internal memory capable of storing 72,000 measurements per parameter with new backup memory feature. For each measurement, the Van Essen Baro-Diver simultaneously registers barometric pressure, air temperature, date and time.
Applications
- Monitor potable water recharge areas for water supply
- Monitor tailing ponds, dewatering activities and water supply levels of mines
- General site investigations for construction
- Contaminant plume monitoring on spill sites, remediation sites, chemical storage facilities, landfill sites and hazardous waste storage sites

Van Essen Diver-Link Cellular Telemetry System with Diver-Hub
The Van Essen Diver-Link Cellular Telemetry System enables professionals to monitor water level, conductivity and temperature readings from their home or office. The near real-time data allows scientists, managers, and other environmental professionals to monitor flood events, well depths and groundwater levels. 
 
 Long-term monitoring allows users to develop trends on ever-changing climate conditions. The Van Essen Divers ( CTD-Diver, Cera-Diver, TD-Diver and Mirco-Diver) work well for monitoring water supply, tailing ponds, dewatering, contaminant plumes and hazardous waste storage sites . 
 
 The Diver-Link allows users to monitor groundwater via the Diver-Hub Web Portal for real-time management of site data, equipment and water levels.

Continuous data collection in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, started about 5 years ago, and the county will be making a major upgrade over the next year—switching from relying solely on the internal storage of water quality sondes to telemetry units that enable real-time data viewing.

 Telling Lancaster County's Story Through Data 
Since the Lancaster County Conservation District started monitoring county waterways, the goal has remained the same, according to Amanda Goldsmith, Watershed Specialist for the Watershed Department.

In the early 2000s, along the coast of northern California, where the redwoods dominate the forests, and the Pacific Ocean shapes shorelines, a Humboldt University undergraduate student took the first steps into a lifelong love of marine biology. 
 
Dean Janiak accepted an invitation to help a graduate student with fieldwork in rocky coastal tide pools, and so began a journey that led him from California to Connecticut to Florida and eventually to the world, where he has facilitated research in communities across the globe. 
 
While finishing up his masters of Oceanography from the University of Connecticut, Janiak continued researching fouling communities–marine life that live on hard, often artificial surfaces such as docks–at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center.
