Field Activities
POOL DIMENSIONS IN COARSE-GRAINED, NEW ENGLAND CHANNELS
Sailesh Tiwari ('02), Kim Hoffman ('00) and Sushil Bhattarai ('00) measure pool dimensions in Vermont (1999).*
CONTROLS ON SEDIMENT SUPPLY IN COARSE-BEDDED CHANNELS
Eliot Pitney (‘01), Jaime Goode (‘02) and Greg Stull (’01) measure water and sediment discharge in Dickenson Creek, CT (2000).*
POOL-TO-POOL SPACING IN NEW ENGLAND RIVERS
Jaime and Greg measure distances between pools on the Saco River, NH (2000).*
EVALUATION OF CHANNEL-RESTORATION ACTIVITIES
Jaime, Eliot and Greg Stull survey instream habitat structures dating back to the 1930’s (2000).*
VELOCITY MEASUREMENTS IN POOL SYSTEMS
Greg, Eliot and Jaime analyze high-speed velocity measurements recorded by the device in the channel (2000).*
