Information Specialist(s): Steven Suttles
Data Type(s): Imagery: Photo, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Chemistry, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To quantify critical sediment transport parameters of diverse wetland complexes within 4 NCBN parks, Cape Cod NS, Fire Island NS, Gateway NRA and Assateague Island NS in order to inform management efforts. Suspended-sediment concentration data over tidal and seasonal timescales and will directly inform and improve the predications developed as part of the marsh modeling effort for these parks.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Jamaica Bay, NY
End Port/Location: Great South Bay, NY
Start Date: 2017-08-14
End Date: 2017-08-19
Equipment Used: Digital camera, Garmin GPS 76, Spectra Precision SP80, Water sampler, Bottom platform
Information to be Derived: Deployment of time series instruments to measure currents, waves, pressure, and water-quality parameters. Water samples will be collected for suspended sediment concentration, volatile solids, and stable isotope analysis. Digital camera will be deployed to take time series photos of the marsh edge.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: data collected at several locations in Jamaica Bay and Great South Bay
