Help us monitor the Nine Mile Run (NMR) stream and its surrounding ecosystem! This Chronolog overlooks an intermittent stream channel of Fern Hollow Creek, which only has water during certain times. By contributing your photographs at this Chronolog, you help us to understand when Fern Hollow Creek is flowing in this channel and into Nine Mile Run. This Chronolog project is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1939977.

Nine Mile Run -- Fern Hollow Creek Channel

Help us monitor the Nine Mile Run (NMR) stream and its surrounding ecosystem! This reach of NMR, called "The Big Bend" was reconfigured as part of the NMR Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Project completed in 2007 by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. Here, you can see where the new channel (the stream channel nearest the bench) has been diverted and is now migrating back to its original channel (the small channel that splits away and flows away from the bench). This Chronolog project is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1939977.

Nine Mile Run -- Streamside Bench

Help us monitor the Nine Mile Run stream and its surrounding ecosystem! At this station, you will capture the outflow of a combined sewer overflow (CSO). A CSO is designed to only discharge during storm events; however, this CSO tends to discharge continuously. You can help us monitor the discharge from this CSO by contributing your photographs. This Chronolog project is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1939977.

Nine Mile Run -- Combined Sewer Overflow

Help us monitor the Nine Mile Run (NMR) stream and its surrounding ecosystem! This Chronolog will capture a stand of invasive knotweed while monitoring stream levels. Here, you will also see the progression the of the new bridge construction. This Chronolog project is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1939977.
