Leaks in natural gas pipelines threaten public safety, waste resources and harm the environment. Our Mobile Gas Leak Detection System identifies the locations of leaks far from the source quickly (while driving), accurately (negligible false alarms) and economically (lowest cost of ownership/operation). http://new.abb.com//abb-ability-mobile-gas-leak-detection-

Here we are at Booth 711 in the AGA Operations Conference this week demonstrating the fastest and most reliable technology for quantifying, mapping and finding gas leaks while driving.

This sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, post analysis software enables customers obtain highest accuracy measurements of isotopic liquid water. LGR distributes this post analysis software at no extra cost to customers of LGR Liquid Water Isotope Analyzers. LGR is committed to providing the highest quality solutions for measurements of trace gases and isotopes for environmental and research applications, as well as for industrial, medical and homeland security markets. https://plus.google.com/+Lgrinc/posts/7nAgMfnBik4

Quantifying and locating natural gas leaks has never been faster, easier or more reliable. Please see the newest technology for measuring, quantifying and mapping natural gas leaks while driving at the American Gas Association (AGA) Operations Conference Biennial Exhibition (at Booth 711 - Heath Consultants) this week. https://www.abb-conversations.com//pipeline-safety-just-g/

Stable isotopes of water have long been used to improve understanding of the hydrological cycle, catchment hydrology, and polar climate. Recently, there has been increasing interest in measurement and use of the less-abundant 17O isotope in addition to 2H and 18O. Off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy (OA-ICOS) is demonstrated for accurate and precise measurements 18O, 17O, and 17O-excess in liquid water. OA-ICOS involves no sample conversion, nor cumbersome compressed gases, and has a small footprint, allowing measurements to be made by researchers collecting the samples. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3933304/

A new study conducted at the University of Delaware is one of the first in the world to show that tree trunks in upland forests actually emit methane rather than store it, representing a new, previously unaccounted source of this powerful greenhouse gas.

LGR's portable analyzers and EOSense chambers enable "Automated, long-term soil gas flux measurements with the eosAC; from rainforests to tidal marshes"

LGR's N2O/CO Analyzer used by scientists at the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, Kiel, Germany to measure: "Nitrous oxide during the onset of the Atlantic cold tongue" http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2016JC012238/full

Scientists in Denmark use LGR's Ultraportable Greenhouse Gas Analyzer to record measurements of soil fluxes in Northwest Greenland. The portability and robustness of these high-performance analyzers allow studies of soil, air and water in the most remote locations on Earth.

Climate change is causing the intensification of both rainfall and droughts in temperate climatic zones, which will affect soil drying and rewetting cycles and associated processes such as soil greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes. Scientists (from Michigan State University, Brown University, and Woods Hole) investigated the effect of soil rewetting following a prolonged natural drought on soil emissions of nitrous oxide (measured with an LGR N2O/CO Analyzer) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in an agricultural field recently converted from 22 years in the USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). http://www.sciencedirect.com//article/pii/S0167880915300189

Multiple LGR analyzers report measurements of ammonia and methane (as well as CO2, H2S and O3) emissions continuously while driving. These emissions measurements enable improved understanding of the generation of aerosols and air pollutants from a megacity dairy complex (Chino, California). http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2016.09.083

An overview of LGR's new Post Analysis Software will be given by Dr. Elena Berman at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting on Wednesday 14 December 2016 at 11am-noon at the Los Gatos Research exhibit booth #605. This overview is designed for experienced users as well as prospective users of all versions of LGR's Liquid Water Isotope Analyzers.

Come visit us at the AGU Fall Meeting (Booth 605) 12-16 December 2016 at Moscone Center in San Francisco. We'll have several exciting new portable analyzers for measuring trace gas concentrations and isotopes and natural gas leaks. LGR manufactures high performance analyzers for measuring gases and isotopes anywhere - on planes, underwater, while you drive, or in the lab. Our analyzers address a growing variety of applications ranging from natural gas leak detection and mapping; nitrate/ammonia and nitrogen-source monitoring; isotopic ratios in ALL major GHG; liquid water isotope ratios; dissolved gases in rivers, lakes, etc. See our new battery-powered 'microportable' product line for monitoring trace gas concentrations in ambient air while you walk. Looking forward to seeing you at AGU!
