    Discharge and Sediment Transport in the Field part of Quantitative Skills:Activity Collection
    Jeff Clark, Lawrence University
    In this quantitative field activity, students collect field data on channel geometry, flow velocity, and bed materials. Using these data, they apply flow resistance equations and sediment transport relations to estimate the bankfull discharge and to determine if the flow is sufficient to mobilize the bed.
