In 2021, RBR and Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) collaboratively designed and deployed a suite of instruments tailored to long-term and remote seismic research. This system is serviceable by remotely operated vehicle (ROV) while deployed, addresses instrument drift internally, can be deployed individually or integrated into a cabled array, and is entirely monitored by a portable data controller and power hub. … Read More about RBR and Ocean Networks Canada collaboration extends long-term seismic monitoring capabilities
Understanding the glacier-ocean connection in Jones Sound: A multidisciplinary approach
Nestled between Ellesmere Island and Devon Island is Jones Sound, which is located in the rapidly and dramatically changing Canadian Arctic. The coastlines here are characterised by intricate fjords, many of which are highly influenced by tidewater glaciers (i.e. glaciers that end at the head of the fjord which discharge meltwater below the ocean surface). It is a region at … Read More about Understanding the glacier-ocean connection in Jones Sound: A multidisciplinary approach
Resolving spatial and temporal variations in estuarine gas flux
Estuaries are thought to be major players in the global carbon budget, acting as significant sources of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. However, the uncertainties on existing measurements are high. A recent study led by Dr. Malcolm Scully, a researcher at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), aims to improve our understanding of global fluxes of CO2 from estuaries by examining how … Read More about Resolving spatial and temporal variations in estuarine gas flux

Life on the RBR electronics team with Miranda Holder
“We build our products sort of like Lego, where we have different boards specific to each sensor that go on top of the main boards. So, we work on a lot of little projects here and there to complete the bigger picture.” – Miranda Holder, electrical engineer RBR’s electronics team is involved in the full scope of all our products … Read More about Life on the RBR electronics team with Miranda Holder
Constraining the dynamics of the Gulf of Urabá estuary and inspiring the next generation of Colombian scientists
Colombia’s Gulf of Urabá has historically been at the centre of many unanswered questions. The semi-enclosed tropical estuary is located in the southwestern Colombian Caribbean and is the largest estuarine system in the country. Despite its size, until recently it was one of the least studied ecosystems in Colombia. This changed in 2018, when scientists from the University of Antioquia, … Read More about Constraining the dynamics of the Gulf of Urabá estuary and inspiring the next generation of Colombian scientists
