Distributed Temperature Sensing in the Hydrologic Understory

This project explores groundwater flowpaths, surface water mixing, underground thermal regimes and soil moisture monitoring. We use distributed temperature sensing (DTS) along fiber optic cables at multiple depths beneath the ground to map out the interconnected web of hydrology and ecology beneath the surface.

Here is a video of DTS being installed: https://vimeo.com/229746793?fl=pl&fe=sh
