In a video interview with PME, Dr. Michael Burin from California State University, San Marcos explains how he used PME’s MSCTI PN probe in a laboratory experiment. The goal of the experiment was to study stratified density gradients in a controlled environment. Warmer water with a higher salt concentration was added to a tank of cooler water with a very low salt concentration. The resulting ...
Project Details PRODUCT(S): miniDOT Logger APPLICATION: Salt Water PARAMETER: Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature LOCATION: Bodega Bay, California ORGANIZATION: White Abalone Restoration Consortium RECOGNITION: Katie Sowul, UC Davis Case Study Description Researchers from the University of California, Davis (UCD), the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric ...
OceanCube Observatories, composed of a group of researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, are using PME’s T-Chain sensors as a part of their instrumentation package located on the sea floor off the coast of Japan. ...
Sharks, penguins, turtles and other seagoing species could help humans monitor the oceans by transmitting oceanographic information from electronic tags. Thousands of marine animals are tagged for a variety of research and conservation purposes, but at present the information gathered isn't widely used to track climate change and other shifts in the oceans. ...
A core, in marine research, is a cylindrical section taken from sediments underlying a water body. ...
Driscoll writes: “McLane specializes in refining and commercializing technology that was first developed by research institutions like the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The company’s reach is decidedly global …and, in April, [McLane] was named the Massachusetts 2017 Exporter of the Year by the U.S. ...

In the last few decades, due to the potentially serious impacts upon the atmosphere, earth, and ocean the climate change issue become internationally disputable subject among many scientists including various specialists such as climatologists, atmospheric researchers, oceanographers, hydro–meteorologists, agriculturalists, in particular, local ...
PAPER IN PNAS 109 (23) 9119-9124 , 2012 doi/10.1073/pnas.1203708109 ABSTRACT Transparent exopolymer particles (TEPs) are planktonic, organic microgels that are ubiquitous in aqueous environments. Increasing evidence indicates that TEPs play an active role in the process ofaquatic biofilm formation. Frequently, TEPs are intensely colonized by bacteria and other microorganisms, thus serving as ...
In February 2000, a British oceanographic research vessel sailing in the Rockall Trough, some 180Km from land, encountered the largest waves ever recorded by scientific instruments in the open ocean. ...
Appropriate devices for obtaining either interstitial water or grain particle samples or for measuring dissolved oxygen (DO) at depth within the interior of large-scale, industrial granular bed filters are currently lacking. We developed two innovative samplers for studying a Rapid Sand Filter (RSF) at an operational SWRO plant: the first for water and granular material, the second for DO ...
Rapid sand filtration (RSF) is used today as an effective pretreatment procedure to enhance water quality prior to reverse osmosis (RO) membranes in desalination plants. RSF in newly operated desalination facilities requires a maturation period of about three months before the feedwater may be filtered efficiently. To date the desalination industry RSF has regarded RSF mainly as a physical ...
Transparent exopolymer particles (TEPs) are planktonic, organic microgels that are ubiquitous in aqueous environments. Increasing evidence indicates that TEPs play an active role in the process of aquatic biofilm formation. Frequently, TEPs are intensely colonized by bacteria and other microorganisms, thus serving as hot spots of intense microbial activity. We introduce the term ...
Transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) are sticky organic microgels, ubiquitous in natural waters, which have been implicated as a potentially important factor in the development of aquatic biofilm. An experimental cross-flow membrane array was used to investigate the relationship between the rate of membrane clogging and levels of TEP and other water quality variables in a lake water source. In ...
Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP) have been implicated as an important factor in the development of aquatic biofilm on membranes and other surfaces. We have recorded TEP and associated bacteria from four different kinds of source water (coastal seawater, freshwater lake, secondary treated wastewater and saline, high sulfide content groundwater from a deep well) as visualized by light and ...
The latest information about the role of TEP (Transparent exoploymer particles) and their role in biofilm formation in desalination and water treatment plants. Explains why filtration or other means of lowering the levels of TEP in source water are desireable but will not be easy to ...
Transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) are ubiquitous in marine and freshwaters, and have been subject to intensive study by oceanographers and limnologists over the past 15 years. These microscopic organic particles (visualized by Alcian Blue staining for acid polysaccharides) may be considered a planktonic form of exopolymeric substances (EPS). Two aspects relating to the potential involvement ...
