Scientific Purpose/Goals: Piezometer sampling in Manhasset and Northport areas of Long Island (adjacent to Long Island Sound). Fall follow-up of May 2008 effort (field activity number 08007).

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Manhasset, NY

End Port/Location: Northport, NY

Start Date: 2008-10-19

End Date: 2008-10-31

Equipment Used: GPS (wh), Piezometer, YSI multiparameter sonde, RAD7 radon detection instrument

Information to be Derived:

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Piezometer samples collected from both Manhasset Bay and Northport Harbor. This included abbreviated shore-perpendicular sampling in each location and modest distributed sampling in Manhasset only. Also radon time series was generated from Manhasset only.
