Using a Continuous Flow Centrifuge to Collect Suspended Sediment
Using a Continuous Flow Centrifuge to Collect Suspended SedimentKathy Conn, a U.S. Geological Survey Water Quality Specialist, demonstrates a new USGS field method using a continuous flow centrifuge to collect suspended sediment from large volumes of water in the Duwamish River near Seattle Washington.

White Salmon River Riverine Dune Formation/Destruction
White Salmon River Riverine Dune Formation/DestructionFollowing the Condit Dam removal, a significant amount of bedload sediment was transported downstream. As the material moved along the river bottom, dunes began to form then collapse. This dune formation is seen through the waveform action as the stream's normal laminar flow is replaced by whitecap wave forms before returning, once again, to laminar flow.
