Project Summary

This project is the "streams" component of the McMurdo LTER. Researchers operate a network of 16 stream flow gauges, collect water quality samples from 30 streams, and make hydrologic measurements. TLS is used to create ground models of transects of the streams above stream gauges.(from usap.gov)
