Neat stuff in the Field

Springs near Fremont, CA
We (with Joel Rowland) are studying the reponse of springs in the Mission Peak region (near Fremont, CA) to regional earthquakes. In particular we are monitoring discharge and temperature in order to characterize the subsurface response. This field data is being intergrate with groundwater flow models in order to understand what changes in the subsurface are responsible for changes in temperature and discharge at springs.
