Dynamics of the Sandy River, western Maine

sandy river Beginning in 2002, we have been monitoring sedimentation dynamics at six sites on the Sandy River in western Maine. From 2002-2006, we conducted high-resolution topographic surveys of the bars to determine patterns of annual change. We transitioned this phase of the project to repeat surveys of channel profiles every 4-5 years for long-term monitoring.

With renewed interest in management and manipulation of the bars in 2011, we are using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to determine the volume of sand stored at three of the study sites.
