Sagehen Creek Field Station

18 Jul, 01 AM - 18 Jul, 03 AM

This visit will be for up to 15 scientists who are part of the Mountain Observatory conference jointly organized between the Mountain Research Initiative at the University of Bern in Switzerland and the University of Nevada, Reno. The conference and workshop web site is: http://mri.scnatweb.ch/fair-and-workshop-on-mountain-observatories/home. This is the first stop on a tour that introduces scientists to the stream gaging, meteorological data collection and modeling efforts to manage the Truckee River system. While at the Sagehen Creek Field Station, visitors will take the short hike to the U.S. Geological Survey's Sagehen Creek stream gaging station and will also see painted rocks from Aldo Leopold's observational studies of cobble movement in Sagehen Creek. The visit may include a short drive to a meteorological station that collects snow water equivalence and snow depth information, depending upon accessibility. Visitors will arrive in one 15 passenger van and will be expected to hike to all off-road destinations.
