ITP Continues Role in Arctic

An ice-tethered profiler (ITP) is shown just before passing through four meters of ice in the Beaufort Sea to study of ocean physics, biology, and chemistry beneath the sea ice. ITPs remain an integral part of the National Science Foundation’s continuing Arctic Observing Network (AON). Led by WHOI biologist Sam Laney and first deployed in
(Falmouth, MA) – McLane delivered a Remote Access Sampler (RAS) and a Phytoplankton Sampler (PPS) for use in the Ocean Observatories Initiative, Regional Scale Node (OOI-RSN) cabled system. These samplers will be part of the VISIONS’13 expedition that departs Seattle, WA in July for the International District Hydrothermal Vent Field. Cabled capabilities in both instruments provide two

June 10-14 Planktonic Workshop

Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) members are developing a study on modern planktonic foraminifera research over the last decades.The committee began the project in September 2011 and an upcoming June 10-14 meeting in Amsterdam will bring together experts to further discuss current techniques. The McLane Sediment Trap  is one of these well-known methods. A statement documenting benefits and limitations of these collection methods is

ESP Detecting Red Tide Blooms

ESP samplers manufactured by McLane are monitoring harmful algal blooms off the Coast of Maine in this busy sampling season. Calling the ESP a ‘major enhancement of red-tide monitoring’ Senior Scientist Don Anderson of WHOI explained recently how the ESP complements the twelve detection buoys off of the Gulf of Maine and Long Island Sound.
