USGS is participating in the official release of this movie on February 11, 2010 in Concord, NH. USGS scientist Joseph Ayotte is featured in the movie.
NEW:USGS scientists develop new tool to sample groundwater during conventional hollow-stem auger drilling
USGS New Hampshire-Vermont Water Science Center scientist Phillip T. Harte, along with USGS hydrographer Glenn Berwick and driller Jeff Grey, recently received a U.S. patent for the development of a new sampling tool that allows for depth-specific groundwater sampling during conventional hollow-stem auger drilling. This tool allows for sampling in hard and resistive unconsolidated formations and alleviates the need to mobilize a separate vertical profiling rig to obtain depth-specific groundwater samples.
