Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): Michael Bothner

Affiliate Investigator(s): William Kerfoot, Kerfoot Technologies, Inc.

Information Specialist(s): Michael Casso

Data Type(s): Sampling: Geology, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Chemistry

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Objective is to auger 4 wells near the shore line at the north end of Oyster Pond. At a future date, water from these wells will be sampled and analyzed for total mercury, methyl mercury, nutrients and other constituents. Flow rates and direction will be measured using an in situ flow meter.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: North end of Oyster Pond, Falmouth, MA

End Port/Location: North end of Oyster Pond, Falmouth, MA
