Private effort aims to wire Lake George into world's 'smartest lake'
As part of IBM’s Smarter Planet initiative, the company has poured millions into projects around the world to test out some of its new technologies and has gotten some good clippings in the press along the way. One well-known offshoot of this effort is Watson, the computer that famously beat human opponents at Jeopardy. 
 
But the initiative goes much farther than Watson, and some of the same engineers who worked on the supercomputer project have already turned their eyes to another one: the Jefferson Project, a joint effort between IBM, The FUND for Lake George and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute that is pushing the limits on lake monitoring.

In the parched hills of the Sierra Nevada, researchers are surveying drought-weakened streams to see what effects long-term dryness is having on fish populations in the region. Their findings so far have been less than stellar, with sparse numbers of fish being counted. 
 
Still, as data collection is progressing, the researchers, who work out of the University of California, Davis’ Center for Watershed Sciences, are gathering insights that could aid in conservation efforts that are expected to grapple with coming climate changes. 
 
The purposes of the investigation are two-fold. “If we ever get rain again, we want to see how well these areas are recovering from drought,” said Rebecca Quinones, a postdoctoral researcher at the center and leader of the project.

YSI recently released updated versions of the economical EcoSense handheld environmental testing devices that edge the EcoSense line closer to high-end handhelds. 
 
The update resulted from an aging product and feedback from the people who used the original versions every day, said YSI Product Manager Laura St. Pierre. “We were just trying the make it a better field tool,” she said. 
 
The new EcoSense pH100A, D0200A and EC300A replace products with the same names sans the “A.” 
 
While there wasn’t a drastic name change, the two model versions look completely different. Updated EcoSense models have an ergonomic design that better fits the palm. The curvaceous, gray case looks much cleaner than the previous version’s angular blue features.
