In house cal- ibration of DO, pH, ORP and tur- bidity complement those for the fun- damental physical measurements. Rockland Scientific International 520 Dupplin Road, Victoria BC Canada V9A 4B6 Tel: +2503701688; Fax: +2503700234 E-mail: Fabian@rocklandscientific.com Rockland Scientific designs and manufactures high-accuracy instru- mentation for oceanographic research, and is a supplier of measure- ment systems for microstructure tur- bulence in natural waters. The com- pany was founded by Rolf Lueck and Fabian Wolk, both physical oceanog- raphers, who translated their academ- ic careers into a thriving business that supplies researchers and ocean indus- try with tools and know-how for ocean turbulence measurements. Rockland Scientific's achievement is to have turned this specialized research equipment into turn-key, compact, and reliable instrumenta- tion that can be operated by a variety of researchers. For example, the Vertical Microstructure Profiler (VMP) can be configured for deploy- ment in coastal areas, as well as for deep sea applications up to 5500 m depth.

The tools were designed with precise excavation power and stability in mind. Water is brought in through two counter- rotating impellors and redirected to the seabed in the form of a high velocity, high volume, yet low pres- sure water column that can move materials with shear strengths of up to 60 Kpa. While hung from the ves- sel's crane or A-Frame, a multibeam sonar system that is attached to the tool shows a picture of all hard mate- rials which aids in locating problem areas and shows trench depth.
