Two 4-foot wide baffled chute fishways are tested side-by-side in the Conte Lab's Fish Passage Complex's east flume. The fish ladders are instrumented with passive integrated transponder antennas/reader. River herring, collected from the mouth of the Chicopee River are tested to assess entry and ascent rates.

USGS hydrologist Serena Matt measures soil frost at Sleepers River Research Watershed in Danville, Vermont. Soil frost measurements are made with tubes filled with methylene blue solution. Upon freezing, the methylene blue remains in the liquid phase, yielding clear ice that marks the depth of soil frost.
