Methods:	Stage height measurements were taken every ten minutes with a Campbell CR-10 datalogger, and continuously with the USGS Stevens chart recorder, at the USGS gauging station, 10 meters downstream of the Dalton Highway crossing. Discharge measurements were taken by Karie Slavik, Nia Pauliukonis and Stephanie Parker using a Marsh McBirney flow meter at a location 20 meters below the chart recorder. Flow was measured atleast 20 points for each transect. A total of 8 discharge measurements were used to calibrate the rating curves for this year. Sampling Description. None
