ADCP Model: Workhorse Monitor ADCP
An acoustic Doppler current profiler uses acoustics (sound waves) to measure the velocity of the water around it. Why we collect this data The ADCP gives us insight into how the water moves. It can also provide some information on the amount of particles in the water. How it works An ADCP works like a radar gun that law enforcement use to measure the speed...
Water Quality Meter Model: YSI ProDSS
A water quality meter directly measures many different characteristics of the water using different sensors. The R/V Rutgers has sensor that measure conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH. Why we collect this data These measurements provide us with basic information about the ecosystem, including health and habitability, as well as providing...
CTD Model: CastAway
A CTD is so named as it measures conductivity, temperature and depth. Why we collect this data These measurements provide us with basic information about the ecosystem as well as providing insight into the source of the water (freshwater from runoff or saltier water from tides). The conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth) can also be used to...
CTD Model: Sea-Bird
A CTD is so named as it measures conductivity, temperature and depth. This particular model aboard the R/V Rutgers also has sensors that measure turbidity and chlorophyll a. Why we collect this data These measurements provide us with basic information about the ecosystem as well as providing insight into the source of the water (freshwater from runoff or...

“Raritan Welcome” Introduces Incoming Rutgers Students to Raritan River
The Raritan River is often overlooked in courses taught at Rutgers New Brunswick, yet it provides ample opportunities for research and discussion. Last fall, Dr. Jean Marie Hartman, Associate Professor at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, taught an interdisciplinary honors seminar called, “Tracing the Raritan”. This seminar combined...
The Importance of New Jersey Rejoining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)
Both major candidates for New Jersey Governor have promised that the State would rejoin the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) when they take office. The New Jersey Legislature has routinely passed legislation to do so, although vetoed by the current Governor. RGGI is a carbon dioxide (CO2) cap-and-trade program that currently covers the power...
Professional Development for Energy Professionals II
Summary Electricity behaves like no other commodity, which makes electricity markets complicated. An in-depth understanding of electricity markets requires integrating power system engineering, economics, regulatory policy, and business strategy. This blog identifies the key concepts and how they interact to jump start learning about and analyzing these...
Professional Development for Energy Professionals
Summary Due to the competitive nature of the energy world, energy professionals need a long-term, comprehensive, and effective professional development plan. Professional success requires having depth and breadth within and across disciplines because the energy world is both increasingly interconnected and interdependent. It is not sufficient to have an...
