Rutgers-Newark Geophysical Society visits for Christina River Basin CZO forest survey
On April 18-19, 2012, colleagues from Rutgers University, Temple University, and City University of New York visited the Christina River Basin CZO study area along Spring Brook in the Brandywine Conservancy's Laurels Preserve. Spring Brook is the CRB-CZO's "forest" endmember, a 1st-order catchment that is 100% in mature forest. The visiting scientists performed electrical resistivity/induced polarization, ground penetrating radar, and nuclear magnetic resonance surveys.
