Barry Irwin (USGS Geophysicist), Sandra Brosnahan (USGS Physical Scientist), and Jonathan Borden (USGS Electronics Technician) helped with RTK GPS data collection at these study sites.
Sediment cores were collected, age dated, and their carbon content measured to determine vertical sediment accretion and carbon burial rates. Site locations were selected to determine how a change in local tidal hydrology affected these rates.
