Coastal resource managers at CCNS and elsewhere are concerned about nutrients that are entering coastal waters via submarine groundwater discharge, which are contributing to eutrophication and harmful algal blooms. The research carried out as part of the study described here was designed, in part, to help refine assumptions required by earlier versions of models about the nature of submarine groundwater flow and discharge at CCNS. This study was conducted in four phases, with a variety of field techniques and equipment employed in each phase. Phase 1 consisted of continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) surveys of the entire study area conducted in 2004. Phase 2 consisted of CRP ground-truthing via resistivity probe measurements and submarine groundwater sampling from hydraulically-drive piezometers using a barge in the Salt Pond/Nauset Marsh area in 2005. Phase 3 consisted of supplemental detailed CRP surveys in the Salt Pond/Nauset Marsh area in 2006. Finally, Phase 4 consisted of sediment coring and porewater extraction in the Salt Pond/Nauset Marsh area later in 2006 to supplement the 2005 sampling. Purpose: This shapefile is used to provide the drilling locations where cores were acquired within the Cape Cod National Seashore in 2006. Two files are related to this location file: core_porewater.csv is a comma-delimited text file containing the porewater measurement results; corelog_csv.csv is a comma-delimited text file containing the visual log of each core after it was split. Each of these files is related by the common field "site".

This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. In some cases, this meant adding text "Information unavailable" or "Information unavailable from original metadata" for those required fields that were left blank. Needed to add link to data in the distribution section. Other minor edits were probably performed (title, publisher, publication place, etc.). The metadata date (but not the metadata creator) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent.

The cores were collected with a vibracorer with an 8-cm diameter aluminum pipe advanced through a moon pool in a large Whaler (~20'). The locations of the cores were selected to approximately reoccupy some of the 2005 drilling locations represented in the piezlocs_2005.shp and geoprobeloc_2005.shp files. These locations are related by the number contained in the site attribute of each shapefile.
