Suspended Sediment Profiler

The AQUAscat transmits pulses of high frequency sound on up to four transducers, each of which may operate at a different frequency. It measures the sound scattered by sediment or other suspended materials at discrete spatial intervals programmable from 2½ millimetres to 4 centimetres. For altimetry, this may span a few tens of centimetres; for monitoring sediment suspension profiles, a total range of around 1- 2 metres is typical; while dredge plume estimation may extend to 10 metres.

Key features

Granulometry is typically feasible for 20 μm to 500 μm radius, and concentrations are typically between 0.01 g/l to 20 g/l over 1 m, or more over shorter range.
The AQUAscat 1000S can observe profiles of up to 10 m.
Using set frequencies of 500 kHz, 1 MHz, 2 MHz and 4 MHz, the AQUAscat 1000S allows you to determine the mean grain size and concentration of suspended materials.
The AQUAscat 1000S is a self-contained instrument with 4 integrated transducers, allowing simple deployment and operation.
Once you have setup the burst sampling in AQUAtalk, you can be confident that the AQUAscat 1000S is operating at set intervals chosen by you.
For long-term deployments, the AQUAscat 1000S can be connected to an external battery pack.
The instrument has integrated temperature and depth sensors to give you a better understanding of the water environment.

Dr. Mihai Marinov (specialist în ornitologie, ecologie, zoonoze în care sunt implicate păsările și mamiferele, ecologie și Natura 2000) a terminat facultatea de Ecologie, în profilul de Biologice cu specializarea Ecologie, în anul 2002. În anul 2012 a susținut public teza de doctorat cu titlul ”Ornitofauna Rezervației Biosferei Delta Dunării și implicația acesteia în transmiterea virusului West Nile”, la București în cadrul Universității din București, în urma căreia obține titlul de doctor în Biologie. Lucrează în cadrul Institutului Național Delta Dunării din anul 2003, inițial în Departamentul de Biodiversitate (echipele de ornitologie și resurse cinegetice) iar din anul 2016 conduce Departamentul Centrul pentru Studiul Bolilor Transfrontaliere, Emergente si Zoonozelor. Principalele sale interese de cercetare sunt ecologia ornitofaunei din România, zoonozele în care sunt implicate păsările și mamiferele din Delta Dunării, resursele cinegetice și implementarea Rețelei Natura 2000 în România. Din perspectiva Departamentului pe care îl conduce, din anul 2005 și până în prezent cercetează ecologia virusului West Nile în colaborare cu Instituții din România, Franța, Austria, Spania, Italia, Republica Cehă, Marea Britanie și Ungaria (proiecte precum EDEN – FP6, EDENext – FP7, ROVETNILE – Biotech). Din perspectiva cercetării virusului West Nile, pe lângă investigații asupra speciilor rezervor și a vectorilor se ocupă și de realizarea de modele de prognozare a infecțiilor cu virusul studiat. Împreună cu colaboratorii a identificat speciile de păsări implicate în transmiterea virusului West Nile respectiv a identificat pentru prima dată în Europa prezența virusului West Nile într-o specie de Ixodidae. Actualmente, împreună cu instituții partenere din România lucrează la modelarea epidemiologie virusului West Nile prin monitorizare cu ajutorul dronelor (proiectul WNV-RPAS – PN II) respective instruiește doctoranzi din România și Serbia în domeniul tehnicilor de recoltare de material biologic și ecologia agenților patogeni din zone umede (proiectul AMSAR – SCOPE finanțare elvețiană). Pe lângă studiul virusului West Nile sunt realizate sau vizate studii, cercetări și proiecte cu privire la Pesta Porcină Africană, Boala Carre, Hepatita E, Gripa Aviară, Trichineloza, Encefalita de căpuşă, Febra hemoragică Crimeea-Congo, Febra hemoragică Dengue, Febra hemoragică Chikungunya ș.a.

PhD Mihai Marinov (specialist in ornithology, ecology, zoonosys in which are involved birds and mammals, ecology, mammalogy) has graduated in 2002 Faculty of Biology, Biology profile, Ecology Specialization. In 2012 he defended his PhD thesis entitled “The ornithofauna of Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve and its implication in the transmission of West Nile virus” at the University of Bucharest, after which obtained a PhD in Biology. He is working in the Danube Delta National Institute since 2003, initially in the Department of Biodiversity (Irnithology and Hunting and Game species teams) and from 2016 leads the Centre for the study of transborder and emergent diseases and zoonosys. His main research interests are ecology of birds, zoonosys involving birds and mammals in the Danube Delta, wildlife resources and implementation of the Natura 2000 Network in Romania. From the perspective of the Department he leads, since 2005 until now, he investigates the ecology of West Nile virus in co-operation with institutions from Romania, France, Austria, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Great Britain and Hungary (projects such as EDEN – FP6, EDENext – FP7, ROVETNILE – Biotech). From the perspective of West Nile virus research, in addition to investigations of reservoir and vector species, he deals with making forecasting models of infections with the studied virus. Together with collaborators he identified the bird species most involved in the transmission of West Nile virus, respectively, identifying for the first time in Europe the presence of West Nile virus in a species of Ixodidae. Currently, together with partner institutions in Romania he is working on modelling the epidemiology of West Nile virus by monitoring using drones (project WNV-PSUR – PN II), respectively, he trains PhD students from Romania and Serbia in techniques for harvesting biological material and ecology of pathogens in wet areas (AMSAR project – Swiss finance SCOPE). Besides the study of West Nile virus are conducted or targeted studies, research and projects on the African swine fever, distemper, hepatitis E, Avian Influenza, trichinosis, Tick borne encephalitis, hemorrhagic fever Crimean-Congo, haemorrhagic fever Dengue, hemorrhagic fever Chikungunya etc.
