The impacts of a warming Arctic are raising serious concerns about the stability of the sensitive balance between climate conditions, freshwater input, oceanic circulation and the state of Earth’s frozen surface.

There are many hydrological monitoring activities being planned and facilitated in the arctic, motivated by an international need for a better understanding of hydrology in the polar regions.

The need for hydrometric monitoring is increasing in order to overcome the poorly-nature of much of the Arctic (and Antarctic) drainage basins, and for the importance of melt in governing the balance between terrestrial snow and ice, as well as streamflow.

Water quality studies are also being undertaken internationally for Arctic lakes and rivers to not only gather baseline data but monitor for natural or anthropogenic transformations to these Arctic aquatic ecosystems.

AXYS Technologies, Inc. (AXYS) is participating in this frontier for Arctic aquatic research by designing and manufacturing remote and automated systems for monitoring hydrometric and water quality parameters in arctic environments. By performing continuous monitoring of these parameters year-round, researchers can use data with unparalleled temporal representation to better understand these dynamic aquatic ecosystems.

AXYS provides both the HydroSentinel for shore stations in hydrometric monitoring, and the all new Arctic Lake Monitoring System (ALMS) to perform thorough water quality studies in this operationally challenging environment.
