Golder Associates was contracted to develop an air and water quality monitoring program for extremely challenging conditions:

• extreme heat and cold, • shifting pack ice, • high sediment load, • busy maritime traffic and commercial fishing, • unreliable shore power, and• infrequent maintenance.

We designed and built an experimental seafloor monitoring station that provides near-real time data management and has performed well through 11 months of testing.
