Field Monitoring

<< Monitoring >> :: Papers
   

Few organizations are in the position to tie together practical expertise in the environmental field with university resources. TIAER offers field monitoring and lab analysis, either independently or as an integrated service. Within driving distance of Stephenville, Texas, we maintain mobilization readiness, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in response to rainfall events, biological phenomena such as fish kills and algae blooms, or other environmental emergencies. Outside of Stephenville, we can design appropriate monitoring, install the equipment, and train personnel to run it effectively.

Our extensive background in monitoring watersheds in Texas and Iowa has allowed our staff to develop a comprehensive assessment program:

  • Routine water, soil, and sediment grab sampling and monitoring
  • Operation of automated storm samplers
  • Rapid bioassessment monitoring protocols for benthos and fish
    Global positioning and geodetic data collection
  • Maintainance, calibration, and operation of field equipment
  • Rapid response to storm situations
  • Water velocity measurements for developing stage-discharge relationships

TIAER provides scientific services to governments, industries, municipalities, and other entities on a contractual basis. We commit our people, experience, and equipment to assure that your samples and projects are treated with the care, attention, and timeliness you demand.
