  Home > Facilities > Instrumentation > Sediment flux measurement
High resolution measurements of both sediment flux and topography are performed in this facility allowing research into the linkage between topographic complexity and sediment discharge variability. The "Flux-O-Meter" measures the volumetric discharge and fine sediment mass flux as it leaves the experiment.
The Mountain Model Maker, developed at SAFL by visiting researcher Liam Reinhardt, creates scaled models of mountains using fine sediment and a synthetic rain system.
