West Creek 2014 Results

Laura Sherrod - 2014

Five temperature probes were installed to record temperature profiles (right) at locations of resistivity anomalies (locations shown below). 

The Matlab program VFLUX was used to process the data and calculate the downward flux at each of these locations, with zones of high resistivity corresponding to high values downward flux and zones of high resistivity corresponding to moderate values of downward flux or upward flux of water through the streambed. 


Temperature flux results at the location of probe 6 (corresponding resistivity profile shown below)
