Hudson River sampling - Kingston

The Kingston site on the Hudson River, where long term
measurements track changes in river temperature, light
penetration at various depths, change in bacterial abundance and
a variety of microscopic critters. By treating the Hudson River
estuary as an integrated system, as a research site that spans
from Troy, NY, to the Tappan Zee Bridge, Institute research
analyzes the river within its geographical context. Unlike
smaller piecemeal approaches, this large-scale assessment allows
ecologists to observe connections governing the Hudson River
ecosystem. The 200-km-long study site has provided vital
information on the river's biological populations, such as
plants and fish, and the ecosystem processes they depend on.
