Sampling Mud in the Elwha River Estuary
Detailed Description
USGS hydrologic technician Andrew Spanjer shovels Elwha River mud into a bucket for latter analysis in the lab. The USGS is monitoring turbidity at several locations in the Elwha River during the largest dam-removal project in United States history. The mud will be mixed with water to assess how different turbidity sensors react to different sediment concentrations using Elwha River sediment.
