RBR

The freshwater science community is gathering in Winnipeg for the International Association for Great Lakes Research and Society of Canadian Aquatic Sciences / Société Canadienne des Sciences Aquatiques Joint Conference next week — and RBR's Sydney Bacon will be there too.

Sydney, one of our North American Technical Sales Managers, will be walking the floor throughout the IAGLR / SCAS-SCSA conference (25–29 May), ready to talk about your research and your area of interest.

Want to lock in a time? Drop us a line at [email protected], and we'll get something on the calendar. Or spot Sydney in RBR red and say hello — Sydney would love to meet you.

Heading to the Underwater Glider User Group (UG2) meeting next week? So is Mat.

RBR's senior research scientist Mathieu Dever will be at UG2, 18–20 May 2026. Catch him at the industry community session, "Community needs and next steps" — a conversation we're keen to be part of — and at his presentation, "Getting the most out of RBR instruments on gliders: best practices for RBRlegato⁴, RBRlegato³, RBRcoda T.ODO and RBRtridente."

Whether you're deploying your first glider or you're an old hand, find Mat and say hello — he's always up for a good ocean conversation.

Houston, we have a solution. 🚀

This week, RBR's Greg Johnson and John Hunt are on the ground at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, and are keen to meet with you and chat all things ocean.

Whether your interest is ports, coastal engineering, hydrography, polar, or oil and gas, RBR has a solution to support your next deployment.

So reach out to Greg and John and discover how RBR innovation can elevate your research. We'd love to connect!

EGU26 is almost here — and we can't wait to reconnect with the oceanographic community in Vienna next week.

RBR will be at Booth #32 from 3–8 May. Come and meet Didier Clech, RBR's Business Manager for Europe, and explore our latest released instruments — including the Generation 4 of our compact loggers.

We will also have an RBRquartz³ BPR|zero, our long-term, low-drift bottom-pressure recorder.

We'll be there to talk science, answer your questions, and find out what challenges you're working on next. That's what these events are really for.

As a bonus: enter our prize draw for a chance to win an RBR stand-up paddle board.

If you're attending, we'd love to see you. Drop by, say hello, and let's talk.

📍 Booth #32 | 📅 3–8 May 2026

"Time and tide wait for no one… but at 32Hz, we've got the measure of them."

The RBRsolo⁴ and RBRduet⁴ bring compact, lightweight tide and wave measurement to any deployment — with three firmware options to match your research needs:

♦️ Continuous sampling up to 32Hz
♦️ |tide32 — continuous sampling or tidal averaging
♦️ |wave32 — continuous sampling, tidal averaging, or wave burst

Available on any Generation⁴ compact instrument with a pressure sensor.

Add ±0.01% full-scale accuracy, infinite memory, and single or dual AA batteries, and you have a tide and wave solution built for the longest, most demanding deployments.

That's a wrap on a week of highlighting our latest generation compact instruments. Thank you to everyone who followed along and shared what you're working on. We'd love to help — reach out at [email protected]

The ocean doesn't slow down for your instruments. Now it doesn't need to. Introducing the RBRsolo⁴ and RBRduet⁴ — built around four principles.

♦️ Measure more. Seven sensor options in one compact platform — from temperature and pressure to chlorophyll-a, PAR, and optical dissolved oxygen. Your instrument, configured for your science.

♦️ Measure faster. Standard 2Hz sampling with an optional 32Hz, so the dynamics that matter never slip past you.

♦️ Measure longer. Infinite memory and a dual battery option. Leave it in the water. Let it work.

♦️ Measure smarter. Exchangeable sensors mean you can reconfigure in the field and share one instrument across multiple programmes.

Compact by design. Exceptional in performance. Shaped by more than 50 years of understanding what fieldwork actually demands.

All week we're sharing more about Generation⁴. What are you working on? Tell us in the comments. 👇

Generation⁴ is compact by design, exceptional in performance — and now more versatile than ever.

Seven sensor options, one compact platform: Temperature, Pressure, Optical Dissolved Oxygen, PAR, Radiometer, Turbidity, and — new to the range — Chlorophyll-a.

We're particularly excited to introduce chlorophyll-a for the first time. Whether you're tracking phytoplankton dynamics, bloom timing, or primary productivity, it's now available in our most versatile instrument body yet.

The RBRduet⁴ pairs any of these sensors with pressure for high-accuracy depth measurements. And for deployments that need to last, the |2x version doubles battery capacity to keep your instrument in the water as long as your science demands.

Follow along this week as we share what makes Generation⁴ different.

Performance or size? You shouldn’t have to choose.

With 50 years of ocean measurement behind us, we’re introducing Generation⁴ innovation in the RBRsolo⁴ and RBRduet⁴ — compact instruments engineered for exceptional performance.

Designed for real-world deployments, this new generation delivers:

- Flexible sensor configurations
- High-frequency sampling
- Long-duration endurance

All in a small, powerful package — built for when data quality matters most.

We’ll be sharing more about what makes Generation⁴ different throughout the week.
