Research infrastructure

The center acquires water quality data through an array of probes located at three locations in Kimages Creek, which flows through the center, as well as in the James River. The probes provide continuous measurement of a wide array of parameters, including dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, salinity, temperature, tidal cycle, turbidity and chlorophyll concentration. Several meteorological stations provide continuous information on standard weather parameters. These data are made available through our website.
