Thousands of people took to the streets of San Diego on Earth Day to support science and understanding. More research is needed now especially to understand our rapidly changing ocean environments. Read how ocean acidification is affecting us now and how humans are adapting.
NOAA’s remote submersible, the Okeanos Explorer, has glimpsed some out-of-this-world creatures in the Central Pacific. Click here for a video of some of the most bizarre.
With research budgets uncertain, many agencies and institutions are now thinking small. Our miniDOT Logger is a budget-friendly solution for DO and temperature monitoring, and the miniWIPER can greatly extend the length and quality of monitoring without the need for costly labor.
PME now offers a miniWIPER specifically designed for the Cyclops-7 Logger. One of our most versatile instruments just became more versatile. Get a quote today.
An interactive map released by the USGS on April 4 tracks four decades of trends in water quality data across the nation, since the 1972 passage of the Clean Water Act.
Scientists announced in April that the Slims River in Southern Alaska abruptly changed course last year due to receding glaciers, moving the river’s outlet thousands of miles.
Lakes in the U.S. show elevated chloride levels from exposure to road salt, according to a large-scale analysis by researchers in the GLEON Fellowship Program.

Technology frontiers in aquaculture
Drones catching on
as fish-farm sentries
As prices on remote operated vehicles continue to drop, farmers are using more drones armed with sensors and cameras to monitor water and spot tears in nets.
The important task of cleaning up aquaculture waste can be done “efficiently and inexpensively,” through bioreactors, according to a University of Illinois study.
On May 31st, Ben Lecomte plans to swim from Tokyo to San Francisco. Along the way, scientists following the epic swim will be collecting all sorts of data about ocean health. PME has donated a miniDOT logger to the research effort. Stay tuned to the PME blog for more updates once the swim begins at the end of this month.
