Region: Located at the mouth of the Fraser River, near the major population centre of B.C.’s Lower Mainland, where fresh, silt-laden water meets the salty water of the Strait of Georgia.
The Fraser River freshet is starting (snow pack melt in the coastal mountains), and the suspended sediment loads coming out of the river mouth into the Strait of Georgia are also increasing. This is especially evident at our...
Dynamic sediments and sediments with active biogeochemistry often generate a variety of chemical compounds, some of which will be gaseous. This inverted echo-sounder image from 30 October 2011 at the Delta Dynamics Laboratory in the Strait of Georgia at 108m water depth near the mouth of the Fraser River has captured numerous clouds of rising bubbles. Such bubbles have several...
