Puget Sound sediment study looks to fill degraded inlet's data gap
Sediment in Washington State’s Puget Sound is growing more polluted, and scientists aren’t entirely sure why. Water quality specialists from the U.S. Geological Survey aim to change that. The Washington State Department of Ecology recently reported that some aspects sediment health in the sound have gotten worse over the last decade. Poor sediment quality has adversely impacted macroinvertebrates and water quality. A new USGS study is tracing Puget Sound sediment upstream to its tributary rivers to evaluate sediment volumes and quality. “One area that we know where there is a known gap in our understanding is in the type and levels of contaminants that are transported from large rivers to the Puget Sound,” said Kathy Conn, a USGS water quality specialist working on the study.
Choptank River watershed nitrate monitoring targets conservation efforts
A nutrient monitoring effort throughout a degraded Chesapeake Bay watershed is helping chart the path of nitrate through the system. The monitoring is part of a plan to target federally funded agricultural conservation practices to the places in the watershed that need them most. The Choptank River is among one of the largest tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay, a system plagued by excess nutrients. The Choptank flows across the Delmarva Peninsula, a 170-mile-long piece of land that makes up the bay's eastern shore. More than half of the Choptank's watershed is covered in agricultural land, which is part of the reason the river has been listed as impaired under Clean Water Act standards for nutrients and sediment.
Proactive Pumps: Groundwater Monitoring
Fondriest Environmental offers a complete selection of Proactive groundwater pumps . The product line includes many options for accommodating a wide range of project needs, including well water applications and a many choices for maximum pumping depth. Proactive Pumps Carried by Fondriest Environmental The Proactive Stainless Steel Mega-Typhoon pump, which is capable of pumping up to 80 feet from ground level by simply connecting it to a 12 volt battery and controller. When using the Low Flow with Power Booster 1 LCD Controller and low flow control valve, the pump can sample as low as 10mL per minute from any depth. The main wear-out parts consisting of the motor and seal all have been incorporated in a single replaceable motor module.
Testing CO2 Removal Strategies in the Pacific Northwest
The ocean plays a key role in carbon dioxide (CO2) removal and storage, also known as carbon sequestration. However, with increasing emissions, a large amount of CO2 escapes into the atmosphere, worsening climate change and leading to increases in surface temperatures. In order to mitigate some of these impacts, researchers like Ally Savoie at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are working hard to identify ways to safely improve the CO2 removal and storage capabilities in the ocean. Savoie started her career at Wright State University , where she worked in Silvia Newell’s lab examining biogeochemical cycling of nutrients in a river system. From there, she decided to pursue a master’s in marine science at the University of Southern Mississippi with Dr.
