Field Presentation part of E-STEM:Field Course:ESTEM-PD Activities
During the E-STEM Field Course, each student was responsible for a field presentation related to a geology, geomorphology, hydrology, and/or ecology topic specific to the Sierras or Owens Valley. Depending on the ...

Groundwater Potentiometric Surface Mapping part of E-STEM:Field Course:ESTEM-PD Activities
In this exercise, students map the elevation of the water table in the Mammoth Groundwater Basin using water levels measured in Mammoth County Water District monitoring wells.

Total Maximum Daily Load part of E-STEM:Field Course:ESTEM-PD Activities
In this exercise, students measure water quality parameters and determine if the water quality objectives of State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB) are being met. They also determine the total load of total ...

Sediment Transport part of E-STEM:Field Course:ESTEM-PD Activities
In this exercise, students gain experience observing streams. They practice measuring stream discharge, sediment sampling, and channel surveying, and using their field data, they make predictions about bed mobility.

Measuring Stream Discharge and Base Flow in the Field part of E-STEM:Field Course:ESTEM-PD Activities
In this exercise, students will measure stream geometry and velocity in the field at multiple locations. They will use the velocity-area method to calculate discharge and use their calculations to determine if a ...

Mono Lake North Synthesis Project part of E-STEM:Field Course:ESTEM-PD Activities
The Mono North site allowed for activities in all four content areas (Geomorphology, Geology, Hydrology, and Ecology). of the E-STEM field course. In working through the Mono North Synthesis Project, students ...

Intro to Quantifying Stream Discharge and Base Flow part of E-STEM:Field Course:ESTEM-PD Activities
In this exercise, students calculate stream discharge from sample field data using the velocity-area method. They compare multiple measurements of discharge to determine base flow in a sample river reach.
