Other ID: L-54-09-MA

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): Kevin Kroeger

Affiliate Investigator(s): Serena Moseman; Jim Tang and Wei-Chun Chao, MBL

Information Specialist(s): Kevin Kroeger

Data Type(s): Environmental Data: Methane, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Geology, Environmental Data: CO2

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Quantify greenhouse gas fluxes from salt marsh sediment, including their responses to nutrient additions through field measurements and manipulations.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location:

End Port/Location:

Start Date: 2009-07-10

End Date: 2009-07-17

Equipment Used: Gas sampler, GPS (wh), Grab sampler, CO2 Analyzer

Information to be Derived: Samples and chemical analysis;

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Gas flux chambers were placed on the salt marsh surface, and fluxes were measured of nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide. Variability with space and time was examined, and influence of nitrogen availability of sunlight was examined.
