Sediment samplers are designed to obtain representative samples across all depths and locations in a river cross-section. This is important because sediment concentrations are not always consistent across the channel. This D-74 sampler weighs 62 pounds and can sample in velocities up to 6.6 feet per second and depths up to 15 feet. It has been in use since 1974.

Will Long is a hydrologist with the USGS Oregon Water Science Center.
Will joined the USGS Oregon Water Science Center in 2018 contributing to data collection efforts related to water quality and availability in the Klamath basin, post-fire sediment transport in at-risk watersheds, and Columbia River sediment transport effects on navigational channels. Will is currently working as a hydrologist with the Geomorphology Team to develop and modernize remote sensing platforms, produce geospatial data sets, and to inform hydraulic modelling efforts to aid water availability assessments and public safety.
