Tracking changes in bulk electrical conductivity (EC) during tracer tests in saturated sediments allows for direct observation of both mobile and less-mobile pore space exchange dynamics. Electrode arrays made up of four stainless steel rods (insulated with the exception of exposed 0.5 cm tips) were installed vertically at depths of interest and apparent electrical resistivity data (the inverse of bulk EC) were collected using a Wenner configuration with an AGI SuperSting R8 meter. The Bulk EC data are described and listed within the files below. Controlled, downward flow experiments were conducted in Dual-domain porosity apparatus (DDPA). Downward flow rates ranged from 1.2 to 1.4 m/d in DDPA1 and at 1 m/d, 3 m/d,...
When water is pumped slowly from saturated sediment-water inteface sediments, the more highly connected, mobile porosity domain is prefferentially sampled, compared to less-mobile pore spaces. Changes in fluid electrical conductivity (EC) during controlled downward ionic tracer injections into interface sediments can be assumed to represent mobile porosity dynamics, which are therefore distinguished from less-mobile porosity dynamics that is measured using bulk EC geoelectrical methods. Fluid EC samples were drawn at flow rates similar to tracer injection rates to prevent inducing preferential flow. The data were collected using a stainless steel tube with slits cut into the bottom (USGS MINIPOINT style) connected...
