The MX20L Water Level Logger brings all the same great features as the U20L and more! Integrating Bluetooth for fast and reliable data download, the MX20L logger eliminates the need to plug your logger into a base station or shuttle to offload data in the field, ensuring continuous water level and temperature monitoring. With options to measure at depth ranges of 13, 30, or 100 feet in a wide range of underwater environments, this rugged logger features 0.1% measurement accuracy, a durable polypropylene housing for use in both freshwater and saltwater, and a non-vented design for convenient and reliable deployment.
The MX20L comes with a magnetic activation fob that can "wake up" the logger to activate its Bluetooth communication for configuration and data download. The included fob comes with a lanyard to prevent losing or dropping the fob in the field.
This logger records absolute pressure, which is later converted to water level readings by HOBOconnect software. To compensate for barometric pressure changes, another HOBO MX20L Water Level logger can be used as a barometric reference.
- Self-contained, non-vented design enables easy deployment
- Ideal for use in both freshwater and saltwater environments, including wells, streams, lakes, wetlands, and tidal areas
- Depth measurement options of up to 13, 30, or 100 feet depending on model
- Durable ceramic pressure sensor withstands freezing
- Streamlined data offload via Bluetooth to the free HOBOconnect app
- HOBOconnect app provides easy extraction and visulization of water level data
- Extended battery life up to 10 years (power-saving mode requires magnetic fob to activate Bluetooth for data download)
- (1) HOBO MX20L water level & temperature logger
- (1) HOBO magnetic activation fob

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.
Connecting with Nature in Real-Time at the Abernathy Field Station
Just five miles away from Washington and Jefferson (W&J) College is the 57-acre Abernathy Field Station . Generously donated by the Abernathy family in 2017, the field station has served as an outdoor lab to hundreds of undergraduate students over the years. Many classes use the Abernathy Field Station every week. For example, in BIO 111, students spend 15 weeks conducting their own research at the field station using a combination of sampling, field observations, and real-time environmental data, giving them a look into the world of science and a closer relationship with nature. “We like to start the students in the research process in their first Biology class.
