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.

(he/him)Will Long is a hydrologist with the USGS Oregon Water Science Center.
Will joined the USGS Oregon Water Science Center in 2018 as a hydrologic technician overseeing water-quality monitors in the Upper Klamath Basin. In 2020 he joined the QA/QC Data Section group and gained experience in quantifying suspended sediment transport on the Lower Columbia River using acoustic methods and sediment surrogate techniques in watersheds disturbed by wildfire. Will is currently working as a hydrologist with the Geomorphology team to better characterize the dynamic physical and ecological processes of riverine systems that influence societal and ecosystem services.
