Nicole and I will be participating in the 2021 Summer Research Symposium at Virginia Tech on Thursday (7/29)! If you are a member of the VT community and would like to view our presentation and ask any questions, self-enroll in the conference site at canvas.vt.edu/enroll/6W3PDF.
We went out to the field site and collected cross-sectional data with the Auto-Level and Philadelphia Rod again! The two graphs below show the cross-section of the stream before and after the major flooding event that occurred on July 1st.
On July 1st, we experienced a major flooding event! The system was completely submerged under the water, and we are still working to get the Sonde back up and running.
We are collecting FlowTracker data of the baseflow to compare the velocity with the data collected from the runoff events!
Yesterday, I witnessed an illicit discharge event on-site. Only 5 minutes prior to when this picture was taken, the water was clear. VT Site and Infrastructure Development was contacted to further investigate.
The LEWAS Lab has been busy collecting FlowTracker data during runoff events!
Putting the "pro" in prototyping with @flir when adding lab functionality.
Chloride levels in streams are important to the health of aquatic life and the quality of our drinking water - and they can change wildly from one day to the next. That's why it's important to know how much chloride is in a stream before events that can cause dangerous spikes.
Not even finals season and freezing weather stops calibration!
Beautiful day to get outside and check out the @LEWASLab Stroubles Creek monitoring site with collaborators on our @NSF IUSE #DataScience project from @ncatsuaggies, @VanderbiltU, & @virginia_tech! Let the module building/sharing begin.... @VT_Science @VT_Biology @vtenge @vtspes
Yesterday's cloudy water was verified as an observed event by our sensor suite! Nice job, Steve! #botsrights
We updated a piece of flexible conduit at the site today, and the water started getting white and cloudy!
This past Saturday, LEWASians participated in the #VTScienceFestival! They all had a great time educating others about watersheds, pollution, and impervious surfaces.
2 @LEWASLab members traveled to Carroll County Middle School last week for an outreach event. The students created their own watershed models, learned about pollution effects (the rice and raisinettes), and experienced our field site in Virtual Reality.
