Other ID: none

Status: Completed

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

Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): Michael Bothner, Michael Casso

Affiliate Investigator(s): Carl Lamborg, WHOI

Information Specialist(s): Michael Casso

Data Type(s): Geochemical: Surveys (geochemical), Location-Elevation: Navigation, Environmental Data: CTD, Environmental Data: Temperature, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography), Environmental Data: Conductivity, Environmental Data: Dissolved Oxygen, Environmental Data: Fluorescence, Environmental Data: ORP, Environmental Data: pH

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Sample groundwater from 6 wells around the perimeter of Oyster Pond. Determinations of the concentrations of mercury (in different chemical forms), nutrients, dissolved organic C, Fe, and other constituents will be performed at a later date. Profiling equipment will provide information on temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, Eh and pH.
