Overview
The YSI EcoSense EC300M offers convenient measurements of conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, total dissolved solids, and temperature in many field applications.
Accuracy
The YSI EcoSense instruments provide accurate data in the most affordable package. The "M" stands for memory, and the instruments feature a real-time clock, larger memory and simple data transfer to a PC with a built-in USB port. The EC300M utilizes a stable, 4 nickel electrode sensor design that results in accurate measurements. The EC300M measures conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and temperature with the following features:
- IP-67 rated casing
- Durable field probes and cables made in the USA. 1-,4- and 10-meter field cables available
- Waterproof micro-USB port for transferring data to PC; no software required.
- Holds 250 data sets
- Real-time clock for date/time stamp of saved data.
- User-selectable re-calibration prompt
- Automatic temperature compensation.

Save our Bogs! Culture, Conservation and Climate Action in Ireland’s Peatlands
Characterized by long-term accumulation under waterlogged conditions, peatlands exist on every continent and account for 3-4% of the global land surface . Small but mighty, these often overlooked wetland environments are estimated to hold as much as one-third of the world's organic carbon in their soil—twice the amount found in the entirety of the Earth's forest biomass. While healthy peatlands can trap and store carbon, regulate water, and provide important habitats for rare species, human alteration has disturbed peatland carbon and nitrogen cycles on a global scale. Approximately 12% of the world’s peatlands have been drained and degraded through conversion for agriculture, forestry, infrastructure development, and other uses.

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.
