Agricultural & Environmental Research

Early engagement is particularly valuable for environmental research projects. Flux Enviro works with research teams during the planning stage to understand the research objectives, parameters, accuracy and resolution, sampling or monitoring frequency, site conditions and required data outputs before equipment is selected. We can also draw on experience from similar projects to identify suitable measurement methods and practical considerations at an early stage.

Our offering covers the complete spectrum of environmental field research, from manual sampling equipment and handheld instruments to specialist measurement systems and long-term monitoring networks. Equipment can be supplied or rented for individual field campaigns, repeat surveys, experimental programmes or permanent installations.

This includes equipment for soil and water sampling, groundwater and surface water measurement, water quality, flow, soil science and meteorological monitoring. Whether the requirement is a soil auger, water sampler, handheld meter, flow instrument or a network of permanently installed sensors, equipment is selected around the research objective and required data.

Where continuous monitoring is required, instrumentation can be combined with data logging and telemetry to automate measurements and provide remote access to data. A particular strength is our ability to integrate sensors and instrumentation from leading manufacturers using flexible logging and communication platforms.

Parameters including soil moisture, rainfall, meteorology, groundwater, surface water, water quality and flow can be measured independently or combined across multiple locations. For larger research programmes, these measurements can be brought together within a single data portal, allowing the monitoring system to be designed around the research requirements rather than the limitations of a single manufacturer or sensor platform.

Our equipment supports research at every scale – from collecting a single sample or field measurement through to establishing long-term, multi-parameter environmental datasets.

Soil Science & Moisture Monitoring

Instrumentation for investigating soil moisture, water availability, infiltration, drainage and soil response under changing environmental conditions.

Our instrumentation includes:

• Volumetric water content

• Soil water potential

• Soil temperature

• Multi-depth soil moisture profiles

• Soil conductivity

• Soil solution sampling

• Infiltration measurement

• Continuous data logging and telemetry

Sensors can be deployed individually or combined into multi-depth and multi-location monitoring networks, allowing changes in soil conditions to be monitored continuously across experimental plots, agricultural land and research sites.

Meteorological Monitoring

Meteorological measurements provide important context for soil, water and environmental research and can be integrated alongside other monitoring parameters.

Available measurements include:

• Rainfall

• Air temperature and relative humidity

• Barometric pressure

• Wind speed and direction

• Solar radiation

Meteorological sensors can be incorporated into soil moisture, hydrology, groundwater and water-quality monitoring networks, using common data logging and telemetry infrastructure to provide a more complete picture of environmental conditions through a single data platform.
