21.11.2007

  • Swiss Experiment press conference at EPFL in Lausanne.


15.11.2007

  • Flowmeter tests will provide estimates for hydrological conductivity at our channelized field site at River Thur near Widen/TG.


06.11.2007

  • The Geoprobe has arrived.
  • After a 3 day training we will start with piezometer installation and soil core and water sampling at our restored field site at River Thur near Neunforn/TG with "the big machine".

  • Photos 15 m above ground, checking camera perspective and location for the planed vegetation monitoring towers.


04.10.2007

  • Survey flight with airplane for high resolution "digital terrain model" and new orthophotos documenting the actual status of the channel topography at River Thur near Neunforn/TG.


24.09.2007

  • River Thur profile measurements at the field site near Neunforn/TG finished.


12.08.2007

  • Morphological changes at the restored site near Neunforn/TG. New gravel bar near the road bridge, many bars been reduced and lost a lot of sediment.
  • Main channel moves to the left (in orientation to flow direction). The big island is now not an island in low flow conditions any more.
