Principal Investigator(s): Nicole Khan, Lauren Toth
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Billy Reynolds
Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Location-Elevation: Transects, Sampling: Geology
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Collecting coral framework samples (hand collection) from dredging outcrop exposure. Collecting peat cores and elevation data from mangrove deposits.
Vehicle(s): Rental Vehicle
Start Port/Location: Saint Petersburg, Florida
End Port/Location: Miami Beach and Homestead, Florida
Start Date: 2016-07-06
End Date: 2016-07-12
Equipment Used: Collapsible Tripod, GPS Pole, Ashtech Z-Xtreme DGPS, Peat Corer, Push Corer, Other
Information to be Derived: Evaluation of subsidence on the Florida platform
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Collected peat-core records from Swan Key, Biscayne National Park, FL. We collected surface samples for foramineriferal analysis, took cores to reconstruct island stratigraphy (depth to Pleistocene bedrock), and replicate 6 m peat cores from the center of the island that will be analyzed to produce sea-level reconstructions. All sampling locations were surveyed with DGPS.
