Overview
The Geolux LX-80 series of instruments are advanced contactless radar level meters designed for precise distance measurement from the instrument to the water surface for water level and flood monitoring applications.
Mechanics
This functionality is achieved by transmitting an electromagnetic wave in 80 GHz frequency range (W band), and measuring the frequency shift of the electromagnetic wave reflected from the water surface. Instruments are characterised by low power consumption, supported by multiple communication interfaces, compatible with third-party dataloggers, and support remote configuration of all instrument settings over any available digital communication interface. Narrow beam width of only 5° allows for simpler installation, and that nearby structures such as bridge railings or pillars do not interfere with the accuracy of the water level measurement.

New Tide Gauges Bring Real-Time Ocean Data to Timor-Leste’s Shores
Timor-Leste is a growing country in Southeast Asia that occupies the eastern half of the island of Timor. Since its emergence in 2002 as the first new sovereign state of the 21st century, it has made “significant progress in key areas.” In August 2025, two real-time oceanographic and meteorological systems were installed along Timor-Leste’s northern coastline. Part of a wider United Nations (UN) project, their enhanced monitoring is benefiting local navigation and region-wide emergency preparedness. Abhishek Datla is Sales Manager at Elcee Instrumentation and Services , a Malaysian-based company that distributes oceanographic, environmental, and meteorological systems–including NexSens equipment –across Southeast Asia and beyond.
30 Minutes to Act: University City’s Award-Winning Flash Flood Prediction System
Flooding is already the deadliest severe weather hazard in Missouri , and under high-emissions scenarios, the central US is predicted to emerge as a flash flooding hotspot . University City, a suburb of St Louis, Missouri, is “violently” and “frequently” flooded by the River Des Peres, as Eric Karch–a civil engineer and one of University City’s Stormwater Commissioners–explains. The River Des Peres is Missouri’s most flash flood-prone stream, with a complex and deeply urban history. At the beginning of the 20th century, a 4-mile portion of the 18-mile river was buried to hide the sight and smell from visitors to the 1904 World Fair. Decades later, to combat flooding, much of the remaining length was channelized.
Testing CO2 Removal Strategies in the Pacific Northwest
The ocean plays a key role in carbon dioxide (CO2) removal and storage, also known as carbon sequestration. However, with increasing emissions, a large amount of CO2 escapes into the atmosphere, worsening climate change and leading to increases in surface temperatures. In order to mitigate some of these impacts, researchers like Ally Savoie at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are working hard to identify ways to safely improve the CO2 removal and storage capabilities in the ocean. Savoie started her career at Wright State University , where she worked in Silvia Newell’s lab examining biogeochemical cycling of nutrients in a river system. From there, she decided to pursue a master’s in marine science at the University of Southern Mississippi with Dr.
Smart Buoys Advance Climate Monitoring in Swiss Lakes
Lakes are sentinels of climate change . Globally, they are warming at an unprecedented but uneven rate, and in many places they also face direct human pressure, including from agriculture and recreation. In the Alps, scientists generally agree that climate change is of particular threat to remote lakes , where more pronounced warming threatens fragile ecosystems. Alpine Lakes in a Changing Climate Matteo Tonellotto is part of the team at the Environmental Observatory of the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland (OASI)–a multidisciplinary team of scientists, IT specialists, and chemical laboratory technicians committed to collecting, managing, and integrating high-quality environmental data.
