Instrument Loan

Modern coastal instrumentation, including wave gauges, current meters, and pressure sensors, are available for use by COI/RCRC investigators. Many of these listed items may require funding for consumable supplies (core liners, chain bags, reagents, etc.) calibration, insurance and other costs. Availability of any particular instrument is subject to owner scheduling; contact the listed owner directly for more information.
