Big Beef Creek is routinely monitored as an indicator stream for long-term ecological studies in the region, and the amount of water discharge (cubic feet per second) from the creek is measured on a daily basis [ 54].
The hydrology of Marais Creek (which receives flow from the Outlet) is not defined due to a lack of gauging stations, but it is ~3 m wide and discharge of the creek has been measured at 0.06 m3/s [60.06
Researchers plan to spend three winters measuring how different approaches to managing the creek-front lands affect salmon growth rates.
Veering southwest, we entered a new network of creeks, cutting diagonally into the interior of Pirkhali, a block of islands measuring roughly a hundred and fifty square kilometres and marked on maps as being "dense mixed jungle".
We then tested the hydrologic implications using a hydraulic model of the mangrove creek calibrated with tidal data from Naples Bay and water levels measured within the creek.
This value is a little lower than deposition measured near a creek bank along a Delaware salt marsh of ~0.01 g cm−2 per tide (Moskalski and Sommerfield 2012, assuming two tides per day).
The silicate weathering flux out of the weathering profile, measured on small creeks, amounts to 84% of the profile's export flux; the remaining 16% is contributed by non-silicate, atmospheric-derived input.
For example, measured deposition near the creek bank at the Virginia coastal marsh site increased by roughly an order of magnitude during a period that included a significant northeaster (Christiansen 1998; Figure 6).
Bear Creek, whose mouth is also within the village of Barbours but on the opposite (left) bank, is the nearest major creek at 0.52 miles (0.84 km) downstream, as measured along Loyalsock Creek.
Summary of repeatability analyses for environmental factors measured in unfragmented and fragmented tidal creeks; r reflects the intraclass correlation coefficient, following Lessells and Boag (1987).
