Mission accomplished! Our glider pilot Lydia recovers SG Goot from Lake Nipigon after a successful mission in collaboration with OMNR. Next stop: Lake Superior Shoals! @globservingsystem.bsky.social @gwfobservatories.bsky.social

Another first for Great Lakes science! In collaboration with OMNR, our glider, SG Goot, is now surveying Lake Nipigon. It’s equipped with a hydroacoustics bay to track fish movement and map bathymetry. Here’s to smooth sailing! @gwfobservatories.bsky.social @globservingsystem.bsky.social

Last week’s community science event was a great success! We saw some really cool aquatic plant & animal species & volunteers got hands-on experience collecting water quality data. We had lots of fun learning about our local water sheds & how to protect them!

Hope to see you at our next event!

After a record 30-day mission, SG Goot is back on deck from Lake Ontario. This glider braved the shoulder season to capture important temperature data. Looking forward to working with our partners on the data analysis… stay tuned 👀 🌊 @efdtoronto.bsky.social

We had an amazing time on Sunday at Earth Day at Malden Park. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth to chat and learn about water monitoring, and the work we are doing with RAEON. We are looking forward to seeing you again at our community science events starting this month! shorturl.at/FJN6L

Winter in the Great Lakes is changing fast- and we need data to keep up. With support from @globservingsystem.bsky.social, CIGLR, and Orange Force Marine, RAEON recently deployed a glider in Lake Ontario to collect high-resolution temperature data to understand changing thermal dynamics.

5 years of monitoring on Lake Erie. Great to be back out on the water! @globservingsystem.bsky.social @gwfobservatories.bsky.social @uwindsor.bsky.social

RAEON members presenting at the @glatos-fish.bsky.social coordination meeting yesterday. Ongoing work on advancing fish telemetry using glider technology and buoy-based monitoring. Great to connect with our fish telemetry colleagues! @globservingsystem.bsky.social @innovasea.com

We’ve joined Bluesky! RAEON is part of the CFI-MSI-funded Global Water Futures Observatories (GWFO), supporting freshwater research across the Great Lakes and beyond. Follow us for updates on the projects we’re part of!
