Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Saturated sediments are hotspots of biogeochemical reactivity in river corridors. High reactivity is promoted by the exchange of surface water and groundwater within the hyporheic zone, as well as by…

Advancing micromodel and imaging capability to detect hotspots in the hyporheic zone
