Training students on how to conduct stream tracer experiments

Here is a new video from a hands-on techniques workshop that EVEN Prof. Gooseff co-taught in August 2016. 
The course was held on the East River near Crested Butte, CO. Drone overflights included aerial photography for topography and multi-spectral cameras for vegetation density. These videos, shot from from a Phantom 3, show the student teams injecting non-toxic tracers and setting up electrical resistance tomography lines across the river to measure subsurface geology.
