25. And Now Let’s Hit the Trail….

27. Our Tasks Measure Air and Water Temperatures Measure pH Level of the Water Measure the Conductivity of the Water Measure the Percent Saturation of Dissolved Oxygen in the Water Take a GPS reading and Locate Our Position on the Map

28. Measuring Air and Water Temperature Our Results on Monday July 2, 2001: Air Temperature 16˚c Water Temperature 19˚c

29. Measuring the pH Level of the Water Our Results on Monday July 2, 2001: pH of Water - 7.5 pH of Milk = 6.6 pH of Mellow Yellow Soda = 3.3 pH of Grapefruit = 3.4

30. Measuring the Conductivity of the Water Our Results on Monday July 2, 2001: Conductivity of the Water 165uS Conductivity of Milk= 4.65uS Conductivity of Grapefruit= 2.52uS Conductivity of Soda= 0.51uS

31. Measuring the Percent Saturation of Dissolved Oxygen in the Water Our Results on Monday July 2, 2001: 66% Saturation

32. Take a GPS Reading and Locate it on the Map Our Results on Monday July 2, 2001: Position: 18T 0659877 UTM 4912466

35. What can we learn about this field from the soil pit?

36. Use of plows evident in the A-layer Rocks and sand at the bottom of the pit indicate that this land was once part of the Huntington River Evidence of vegetation

37. Clean-Up Time!

40. BMI stands for... Invertebrates - Spineless Creatures Macro - Large Benthic - Bottom-Dwelling

41. Collecting Samples

42. What We Found Stonefly Mayfly Midge Also: Caddisflies Dragonflies Aquatic Worms

44. Boulders Brought here by The Glacier Very difficult for the river to move They are Shaped by the river

45. River Terraces Flat and Long Separated by steep slopes Sand and gravel not far below the soil

50. Lookout point provides you with a view of two very basic characteristics of a river; a cut bank and a point bar.

51. A Cut Bank is on the outside of a river bend.

52. A Point Bar is located on the inside of a river bend.

60. Bedrock is the solid rock that is under gravel, soil, and other material. Folds in the bedrock are caused by pressure, heat, and stress. It is exposed on the Earth’s surface through a combination of faulting and erosion.

61. Foliation Strike Measurements Dip Measurements

62. Christine AllisonKatherinePaul, Elissa, Jessie And all of the other staff members Also The State of Vermont Private Contributors And Of course All of our Families and Friends And everyone else who helped to make this experience possible
