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: Jamaica Bay, NY
Start Date: 2017-11-06
End Date: 2017-11-09
Equipment Used: Digital camera, Spectra Precision SP80, Water sampler, Current
Information to be Derived: ADCP transects at JoCo site to be used for discharge estimates using velocity index method. Water samples will be collected for suspended sediment concentration, volatile solids, and stable isotope analysis.
