Earthcube Domain End-User Workshop: Engaging the Critical Zone Community to Bridge Long-Tail Science With Big Data

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This workshop served two objectives: (1) to engage approximately 45 cyber-literate Critical Zone scientists in the EarthCube process and (2) to inform about 20 of EarthCube’s cyberscientists of the diversity…

Ecotoxicity Study for Mayflies Exposed to Ambient Stream Water From the Upper Delaware Basin and to Produced Water From Natural Gas Drilling

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

The production of natural gas from the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania results in water that travels up through the well bore. This water generally has high concentrations of various salts…

Comparative Lifecycle and Toxicity Testing of Multiple Mayfly Species Across a Gradient of Total Dissolved Solids, With Methods Development for Native Species in the Central Appalachian Coal Fields

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

Many water quality standards for pollutants in streams are based on laboratory toxicity tests that rely on macroinvertebrate species that are easy to handle in the laboratory. Unfortunately, these standard…

Water Quality Assessment in California Using DNA Barcoding

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This pilot study was designed to test how the use of a new technology called DNA barcoding can improve water quality assessment in California streams by enabling researchers to identify…

Temporal variation of nitrogen stable isotopes in primary uptake compartments in four streams differing in human impacts

Streamside Forest Restoration to Improve Water Quality — Brandywine Creek

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This project involved planting 400 trees along Craigs Mill Run (1.8 acres) and 600 trees along the East Branch of Brandywine Creek (1.8 acres) in Pennsbury and East Brandywine townships, respectively, as a best management practice for keeping pollutants out of local streams and improving their health.

Streamside Forest Restoration to Improve Water Quality — Red Clay Creek

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This project involved an experimental planting of 500 trees on 1.5 acres of riparian land as a best management practice for keeping pollutants out of a headwater tributary of Red Clay Creek as well as creating a research site for testing the effects of herbicide use on the survival and growth of seedlings.

Streamside Forest Restoration to Improve Water Quality — Crum Creek

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This project involved an experimental planting of 925 trees on 4.1 acres of riparian land for keeping pollutants out of two headwater tributaries of Crum Creek and learning new insights into how to properly install the bird netting, associated with protective shelters, placed on all seedlings to increase their survival and growth.
