Sea-Bird Scientific’s VP of R&D, Rob Ellison, recently chatted with SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, about the science behind biogeochemical sensing - specifically the challenges of measuring nitrate in the ocean.

Ocean sentinels

Autonomous floats in the world’s oceans combine optical and other sensor data with satellite imaging to provide new insight on marine nutrient cycles and, ultimately, our changing climate.

What glows in the ocean and isn’t toxic waste? 🌌 It’s called bioluminescence - a natural phenomenon where marine organisms produce their own light. According to @noaa.gov, 80% of animals living between 200 and 1,000 meters deep are bioluminescent. #Bioluminescence #SeaBirdScientific

What is bioluminescence?

Bioluminescence - the light created by a living organism. But are you curious how it works? We give you the full scoop on what bioluminescence is, and how it works.

30 miles off Richmond Hill, GA, UGA Skidaway Institute of Oceanography scientists deployed a glider with Sea-Bird Scientific sensors to collect ocean data for better hurricane forecasts. Proud to see our tech powering impactful science! 🌊🌪️ 📸: Jackson Schroeder, UGA Skidaway

Scientists from the UGA Skidaway Institute of Oceanography deploying an underwater glider equipped with Sea-Bird Scientific sensors.

This glider is part of a larger network of autonomous underwater robots spanning the U.S. and the Caribbean, all working together to improve hurricane prediction models by collecting critical ocean temperature data.Scientists from the UGA Skidaway Institute of Oceanography deploying an underwater glider equipped with Sea-Bird Scientific sensors.

A 100-year-old ship. A 60 km-wide ocean vortex. And Sea-Bird Scientific CTDs on board. From the SBE 32 to a sensor-packed SBE 19plus V2, our instruments helped One Ocean Expedition map Norway’s Lofoten Vortex in 3D—down to 1000 meters deep. #OneOceanExpedition #SeaBirdScientific #OceanScience

Paused over a giant vortex

Satellites discovered the vortex 50 years ago, but it took a tall-ship to reveal its secrets.
