TREC Virtual Base Camp _ Ask the Teacher (Bob) or the Scientist Team _ Sediment traps

Posted by: Keith Tabin Dec 23 2005, 02:43 PM

Yo g I have a question I wanted to ask thee. Who is going to check the sediment traps in a year. You mentioned in one of your posts that you have to gps each sediment trap so you'll be able to find them in a year; do you plan on going back to check them or is another team being sent up to do so? Also, what do you plan to learn from the sediment you find in the traps.

Hi Keith,
Another team will be up there next summer to check the traps. The traps help us calibrate the layers that are already there. It shows where in the lake the sediments are being deposited and how much.
