Field Activity Details for field activity 2015-010-FA

Other ID: none

Status: Completed

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

Funding Program(s): Hurricane Sandy - Estuarine Response to Storm Forcing (AE03FKD)

Principal Investigator(s): Neil Kamal Ganju

Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s): Steven Suttles

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

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Recover deployed instruments to avoid icing conditions that could damage or move instruments. Instruments will be redeployed when threat of icing conditions has past, likely mid-March. Instruments are collecting time series data to support evaluations of sediment transport and wetland stability, which will support development of models of storm impacts on estuarine health, vulnerability of adjacent communities, and sustainability of restored and natural wetlands.
