Arctic waters are warming faster than expected, which is leading to a loss in sea ice. With less ice to block the way, many anticipate the Arctic will become a more popular shipping route. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has begun preparing for more Arctic operations by deploying a NexSens CB-950 data buoy to monitor water conditions. Sensors include bottom-mounted conductivity, temperature and depth instruments as well as a topside weather station and GPS receiver to track the buoy's exact location.

Ameren, a power utility in the Midwest, worked with NexSens Technology to develop and set up a system to monitor water quality upstream and downstream of a hydroelectric plant. Data logging systems collect data from the sensors multiple locations so project managers can track the water quality in real time.
