Sequoia builds instruments designed for in-situ sampling of particles in aquatic environments. Many of these instruments can be used to measure sediment transport in stream, river, estuary, or ocean environments—to understand and monitor sediments and suspended particles impacting both fresh and saltwater ecosystems. Across a wide variety of scientific, technological, and policy applications, our users rely on accurate measurements of particle size distribution and concentration to provide a full picture of what’s happening in dynamic natural environments. This is #ParticleIntelligence working to understand the world around us.

🌊🐟 Curious about the life of an aquatic researcher? Here's a glimpse into our exciting world! Aquatic researchers spend a significant amount of time conducting fieldwork, collecting samples, monitoring marine or freshwater ecosystems, and studying aquatic organisms in their natural habitats. They travel to diverse locations, from coastal areas to deep-sea environments, and use specialized equipment for underwater exploration. Their work is vital to understanding and protecting our precious aquatic ecosystems. So next time you're at the beach, take a moment to appreciate the important work of these researchers!🤗 #aquaticresearch #fieldwork #marinebiology

This recentely installed Aquascope underwater camera ist now exploring the fascinating microcosms in Lake Zug 🐟 It was initiated by the Kanton Zug and is Eawag's second permanent measuring station for #plankton in Swiss water bodies. The underwater camera delivers high-resolution images and is able to analyse them automatically. This will provide important insights into the #waterquality and aquatic #biodiversity. The responsible leader from Eawag, Francesco Pomati, explains: “We are dealing with highly complex dynamics in the plankton networks in lakes. We are trying to understand these more precisely in order to make predictions in the future. The Aquascope allows us to observe development in real time, but also to compare the trends from different years.” The Aquascope is located about 30 metres from the Walchwil hatchery and floats in the lake with the help of a special buoy designed and built by Chavanne Boatyard (René Chavanne) in Malters. The location is equipped in such a way that further technical devices could be installed to collect other data. A measuring chain for collecting data on the oxygen content and water temperature of Lake Zug has already been planned. A sonar device for fish monitoring could also be installed.

Hedgerows are more than just a signature feature of the British countryside; they're essential habitats for wildlife and play an important role in tackling climate change. 🐛🌍 Unfortunately, agricultural intensification between the 1940s and 1990s put them at risk, and more recently, inconsistent maintenance has resulted in gappy hedges or overgrown lines of trees. 🗺️ In our latest geovisualisation, Josep Serra Gallego, a Spatial Data Scientist at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH), shares how he and his fellow researchers produced the most comprehensive map of hedgerows across England by using LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) remote sensing data to guide efforts in planting and restoring these delicate ecosystems. 📹 Check out the snippet below of the map in use. 👉 To read more about what data they used, how they chose to visualise it, and who the map may be most beneficial for, head here: https://lnkd.in/esTgjpGW
