Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory

29 Aug, 09 AM - 31 Aug, 02 AM

We would like to use a dorm, kitchen, and meeting space at SNARL for our Geography Field Methods Class on August 29-31 . During the class we will be visiting various sites throughout the central eastern Sierra to conduct a wide variety of short field exercises. We have two off-site cultural geography exercises and one off-site physical geography exercises: Bodie or Bishop (to examine the culturally constructed landscapes of the Old West), Lee Vining (to do an economic/ tourism survey), and Mono Lake Basin (vegetation transects along trail, soils infiltration and compaction test along off road vehicle trail, we will get the appropriate permit). We would also like to conduct a stream survey along the South Fork of the Tolumne River near Baker Field station. We would like to students to use MJP Student Stream Flowmeters to examine how stream flow changes with the morphology of the stream and the location of the meter in the stream. An example of the flowmeter is at this website: http://www.forestry-suppliers.com/product_pages/View_Catalog_Page.asp?mi=7107&title=mjp+student+stream+flowmeter The experiment would take about three hours. We would not collect plant, animal, or water samples. There would be several students wading into the streams to conduct this experiment.
