A suite of other measurements, including a sediment trap mooring, microbiological studies and current measurements are also conducted at this site.

However, that can lead to the growth of algae within the reservoir, which become sediment traps with a resultant buildup of nutrients.
13.
Some soil loss is unavoidable, creating the need for sediment traps and diversions to control run-off water flows through and off the farm.

In the meantime, they have installed bales of hay as temporary sediment traps to slow the water so the solids can better fall out.

A "'sediment trap "'is a temporary device installed on a construction site to capture embankment built along a waterway or low-lying area on the site.
16.
Measuring the flux of sinking material ( so-called marine snow ) is usually done by deploying sediment traps which intercept and store material as it sinks down the water column.
17.
About 135 miles off the central California coast, in a region more than two and a half miles deep, they measured the rain in sediment traps, cone-shaped devices that catch falling particles.
18.
It did this by organising an intensive sampling programme on 14 research cruises over a two-year period and using a range of observational techniques including time-series sediment traps, marine snow cameras, benthic lander systems, long-term moorings and time-lapse photography.

"' Sediment traps "'are instruments used in oceanography to measure the quantity of sinking particulate ecological processes typically within the surface euphotic zone, and is of interest to scientists studying the role of the biological pump in the carbon cycle.

One of the detractors is Gene Domack, a sedimentologist from Hamilton College in Clinton, N . Y . He and graduate student Asa Chong left a series of ocean sediment traps moored in the water here last year, to be recovered this morning.
