Site description

This site is located on an esker where a borehole (NGO-DD15-2020) was drilled using an auger and a thermistor installed. The esker is steep but has a little flat surface area at the top where the borehole is drilled. The esker continues towards the Northwest and East. There are small depressed lakes south of the site which could be kettle lakes. The ground material is sands and gravels typical of an esker. There are four sub-plots at this site. There are five instruments at the site: NGO-DD-2020_ST01;NGO-DD-2020_ST02;NGO-DD-2020_ST03;NGO-DD-2020_ST04;NGO-DD-2020.
