Site Information

The borehole is located 2m west of the midpoint of the resistivity monitoring profile. The westernmost line of the UNISCALM grid is located 12m east of the borehole. Drilled in loess deposit

Lithology: 0-1.2m: sand and some gravel; 1.2-3m: sand/silt/clay; 3-4m: clean ice (ice wedge or thick ice lens?); 4-6m: Mainly clay/silt; -10m: clay/silt, maybe some sand. Layered. Very low resistance during. Salinity at 10m is 11.8% (analysed by L.Hutchinson)
