Chelsea's pioneering technology is helping to gauge shipping emissions, explore the oceans, create healthier fisheries, optimize crop spraying, improve production efficiency, even monitor microplastics and climate change.

OCEANOGRAPHY

Chelsea provide high-precision, multi-parameter sensors for oceanographic applications such as in-situ algal monitoring, dye tracing studies, primary productivity estimation & monitoring of hydrocarbons & Colored [Chromophoric] Disolved Organic Matter (CDOM).

Ocean acidification, eutrophication & a rise in temperature are causing widespread problems including an increase prevalence of algal blooms.

Where algal photosynthesis, accounts for 50% of the total production in sustaining atmospheric oxygen & fixing carbon dioxide, monitoring primary productivity is important for understanding ocean health and is a useful input to climate change models, where traditional methods are time-consuming and intrusive. In-situ monitoring offers a non-intrusive alternative with increased temporal and spatial resolution.
