Monitoring the Great Lakes

Messing around in chatGPT and may have inadvertently created a new logo (with a slight typo) for @RealGLOS 🤣... #HappyFriday

Nice highlight of the great work being done lead @RAEON_ and the Union Water authority to keep drinking water safe. Stay tunes for more stories on Great Lakes water quality (hopefully 🤞) newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/2024/…

Comparing passive sampling and high volume extraction methods for monitoring PCBs, flame retardants and other organic contaminants in the Niagara River - results coming soon!

@CoastGuardCAN Condolences to our colleagues and friends in the CCG

We are devastated to confirm that one of our own employees has been lost at sea. Crews conducted an extensive search and rescue operation at sea and in the air, which ended last night.

NOW LIVE! Our real-time data feeds from our #GreatLakes Connecting Channels monitoring stations are on Seagull (seagull.glos.org) @RealGLOS

Fun day of filming with the CBC & ECCC on Lake Erie yesterday. Stay tuned for the story 👀 #GreatLakes

Just your everyday neighborhood lighthouse? NO! Hidden inside - SCIENCE!! #WaterQuality #NiagaraRiver @HudsonBayWQMS - our station > yours 😝😉

.... and a gentle "tap"to remove the centrifuge bowl and it's cargo of suspended sediments for contaminants analysis

...taking readings... water is warm!

Sampling day at Fort Erie #NiagaraRiver.

Our lucky COOP students keeping busy processing all the recent rain event samples! #lablife #ecccstudents #waterquality #GreatLakes

Our buoy is live on @RealGLOS ! Check out the current conditions here: seagull.glos.org/map?coords=-82…

Sampling with a Niskin bottle and how to express empty it when it starts pouring rain 🌧 😁

Out water sampling with our new friends from @ParksCanada Fathom Five!

Do you like #OpenData? Our Canadian surface water quality monitoring datasets for priority chemicals under Canada's Chemicals Management Plan is now available: open.canada.ca/data/en/datase…

@MTwiss 👋

I spy with my little eye….something limnological. #GreatLakes

All done in @LakeSuperior for now - one last scenic PopCart sample before before heading back. @LakeErieNorth - You're next!

@LakeSuperior here we come! Prepare to be probed!

Our PopCarts are named "Bob" and "Doug" and we use them to collect clean samples for organic contaminant analysis.
