	Canajohary - Keator's Rift (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In the 1790s, the Mohawk River, which was the only dependable transportation route west, was obstructed by 91 rapids or "rifts." Many of these were gravelly shallows formed of the debris that washed into the river every spring from the numerous intersecting creeks on either side.
		It was this gap, in an otherwise continuous Appalachin mountain barrier to inland water travel, that made the Mohawk Valley the favored route for westward transport anywhere south of the St. Lawrence, and a transportation corridor of national significance.
		In a river where rifts were often less than 20 inches deep and occasionally only a foot, boats too heavily loaded would be constantly running aground, particularly late in the summer when the river ran low, and had to be lightened to pass over.

	ANCIENT SEDIMENTARY ORGANIC MATTER IN A MODERN RIVER CARBON CYCLE: THE HUDSON-MOHAWK RIVER SYSTEM, NEW YORK, USA
		Current understanding of the geochemical carbon cycle holds that rivers carry relatively modern dissolved and particulate organic matter derived from autochthonous sources, watershed vegetation and soils, and that OM from shale-rich lithologies exposed in the watershed is fully oxidized upon soil formation.
		This river system provides an ideal natural laboratory for distinguishing rock, soil, terrestrial vegetation and authochthonous sources of dissolved and particulate organic matter to natural waters.
		Through a combination of elemental analysis, stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic analysis, pyrolysis-gas chromatography, and radiocarbon analysis, we are examining dissolved and particulate river organic matter, soils and sediments to trace the delivery of ancient organic matter from weathered sedimentary rocks to modern river systems.
