Field survey

The students are required to complete a one-week (1 ECT) field survey, where they measure water level, flow velocity, and salinity at a tidally-influenced gauging station. The assignments for students (in Vietnamese) can be found here.

Extra

The author participated in a field survey at the junction of Red River, Hanoi. River discharge and suspended sediment concentration data were collected. Interested students may contact the author for providing parts of data for their personal use.
