The science team hasn’t slowed down… just swapped boats for waders! These past few weeks we have been deploying our winter ❄️conductivity loggers in multiple ponds. This will allow us to have continuous data 📊 throughout the off-season. Along with new logger deployments, our team has also been busy with loggers maintenance👩‍🔧, especially on our elevation loggers ensuring they are all set for the winter season! #ponds #outside #beautiful #nature #science #greatpondfoundation team #water #waders #offseason #data #conductivity #loggers #elevation #clean #winter #seasons

Last week we had the opportunity to meet with students from the Charter School to talk about how we measure abiotic🧂🌡️🌊 water quality parameters when we monitor the ponds💧. Students explored our most used field 🛶and lab 🥼 equipment and collected their own data📊! Thank you @mv_public_charter_school for joining us and sharing your curiosity and enthusiasm‼️ #science #learning #greatpondfoundation #students #waterquality #charter #school #explore #equipement #secchi #fish #fun #outside #sunny #vandornsampler #ysi #lab

THAT’S A WRAP✅! Our last sampling run on Edgartown Great Pond 💧marks the end of another great field season.

Nutrient day always brings smiles😁! This week the team sampled 📍Edgartown Great Pond and 📍Chilmark Pond for our regular water quality monitoring and our once a month nutrient samples💧. This run marked our last nutrient run for the field season, it’s a bittersweet feeling. We bring the nutrient samples over the @mblwoodshole for filtering and processing to find out the NITROGEN & PHOSPHORUS concentrations in the ponds. ✴️Nutrient data results get back to us later in the off-season, we will keep you updated 😉 Cheers to the last nutrient day of the 2025 field season👏! #greatpondfoundation #edgartowngreatpond #chilmarkpond #nutrients #feild #boat #row #science #lab #water #happy #smile #fun #outdoors #team
