REPORTS : Evaluation of groundwater flux through bottom sediments of Otsego Lake , 1999
Seepage meters were constructed to measure the influx of groundwater in Otsego Lake (Donnelly, 1999; after Lee, 1977). The meters were placed at the bottom of the lake to indicate the amount of water entering or leaving the lake through bottom sediments. Balloons attached to the meters were used to capture groundwater and samples were tested for chloride ion levels to ascertain whether it was g...
متن کاملSurface soil phytoliths as vegetation and altitude indicators: a study from the southern Himalaya
Phytoliths represent one of the few available altitudinal vegetation proxies for mountain ecosystems. This study analyzed 41 topsoil phytolith samples collected from five altitudinal zones in the southern Himalaya as far as, and beyond, the timberline, from tropical forest (up to 1,000 m a.s.l.) to subtropical forest (1,000-2,000 m a.s.l.), to temperate forest (2,000-3,000 m a.s.l.), to subalpi...
متن کاملTransport of Dredged Sediments after Disposal Operation in Lake Erie
A dredged material disposal operation was monitored on a location in Lake Erie 8 km offshore Ashtabula, Ohio, June to November, 1975. Some 200 sediment cores were collected in the periods before and after dredging and analyzed for the grain-size distribution of the sediments. Two current meters and a wave sensor moored nearby monitored the movement of the water masses. The sediments were dredge...
متن کاملSources and sinks of microplastics in Canadian Lake Ontario nearshore, tributary and beach sediments.
Microplastics contamination of Lake Ontario sediments is investigated with the aim of identifying distribution patterns and hotspots in nearshore, tributary and beach depositional environments. Microplastics are concentrated in nearshore sediments in the vicinity of urban and industrial regions. In Humber Bay and Toronto Harbour microplastic concentrations were consistently >500 particles per k...
متن کاملUsing the Results of CPTu to Identify the Subsurface Sediment Layers in Urmia Lake Bridge Site, NW Iran
Specifying the soil types and profiling the subsurface soil layers are the excellent examples of CPTu test potentials. In this research, the capability of CPTu test for specifying subsurface soil layers and classification of sediments in Urmia Lake is investigated. According to previous studies, the sediments of Urmia Lake are commonly fine grained and soft deposits with organic materials. To e...
