Using a Thermal Infrared Camera to Identify Groundwater Seeps in the Namegagon River
Detailed Description
Cold groundwater seep identified using a handheld thermal infrared camera (FLIR E8) on the upper Namekagon River near Cable, Wisconsin. The groundwater discharge area was about 7-8 degrees cooler than the main channel of the Namekagon. This data collection is part of a larger collaborative project with the National Park Service and the University of Pittsburgh in seeking to identify optimal cold-water habitat for brook trout.
