Whether analyzing climate change, monitoring air and water pollution, developing climate-smart agricultural practices, or exploring a number of other complex issues, researchers around the world rely on the continuous, precise results our innovative CRDS technology delivers. In celebration of our 25th anniversary, we are recognizing some of our users and their world-changing work through the Picarro Hero Awards.  We invited our customers to tell us about their work and how our analyzers help them in their research. We think all of them are amazing! Picarro selected three and asked the public to vote for the "People's Choice" award winner. All four will be featured in full-page advertisements in EOS magazine and receive other prizes. We'll be announcing the winners in early October. ### Get to know our Picarro Hero Award nominees and their work! Read their submissions. *Hover over the photos below for names of the finalists.
