AKA: none
Other ID: G-1-02-NC,GLAD3-ENG02
Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Water Resources Division, Sacramento, EPT, Drilling, Observation and Sampling of the Earth's Continental Crust, USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s): Upper Yuba River Studies Program (MU294)
Principal Investigator(s): Noah Snyder, Lorraine Flint
Affiliate Investigator(s): Charles Alpers
Information Specialist(s): Noah Snyder, PARTNER
Data Type(s): Sampling: Geology, Location-Elevation: Navigation
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Quantify the physical properties (grain size, density, organic content) and chemistry of sediments deposited behind Englebright Dam.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Englebright Lake
End Port/Location: Englebright Lake
Start Date: 2002-05-08
End Date: 2002-06-06
Equipment Used: drillcore, GPS, pistoncore
Information to be Derived: grain size distribution, organic content, sediment bulk density, sediment geochemistry (mercury, methylmercury, trace metals).
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Thirty boreholes were attempted at 7 sites spaced along the longitudinal axis of the reservoir. Complete sedimentary sections were recovered from 20 boreholes at 6 sites. In total, 335 m of sediment was cored, with 86% average recovery.
