Hudson River Snapshot Day October 18, 2011

 crab
At over 65 sites, approximately 70 schools with over 3000 students, teachers and education partners gathered on the Hudson River on a beautiful autumn day to carefully sample and explore this historic estuary for 'A Day in the Life of the Hudson River 2011'! Students found a river still swollen and turbid from one of the rainiest years on record, culminating with Hurricane Irene 8/28/11 and Tropical Storm Lee 9/8/11 just weeks before the event. How did this effect the data collected? Check the data below to see but we will note that the 'salt front', recorded by the USGS as 100 ppm Cl-, hoovered at RM 35 around Croton. Check out the details - pick a site or a parameter to get a better "look" at the day! The best way to experience this event is to plan to join us in 2012...for as Leon from Blue Rock School declares "This day was the most fun and extraordinary day we had yet this school year". 2012 will be our 10th annual event, and amazingly enough, we expect it to be even better!
Enjoy this short video that the Arlington High School students filmed during their day at the river!
