View new CMGDS report form

Other ID: 17SGD02

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s): Coastal Aquifer Project - CAPII (GR.18.MN00.GVK11.00)

Principal Investigator(s): Christopher Smith

Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s): Cheyenne Everhart, Marci Marot, Christopher Smith

Data Type(s): Electro-Magnetic: Resistivity, Environmental Data: Conductivity, Environmental Data: Dissolved Oxygen, Environmental Data: ORP, Environmental Data: pH, Environmental Data: Radon, Environmental Data: Sediment Properties, Environmental Data: Temperature, Sampling: Geology

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Map radon, salinity and water temperature, collect CRP, and ert data, water samples and sediment surface grabs. To look at submarine groundwater discharge.

Vehicle(s): Chevy Suburban Silver

Start Port/Location: Melbourne Beach, FL

End Port/Location: Melbourne Beach, FL

Start Date: 2017-03-27

End Date: 2017-04-02

Equipment Used: Continuous Resistivity Profiler (CRP), HOBO Water Temperature Pro V2 Data Logger, YSI Professional Plus multiparameter meter, Other, Rad 7 Radon Detector, Bottom Grab Sampler

Information to be Derived: Map radon, salinity and water temperature, collect CRP data, water samples and sediment surface grabs. We will also be providing support for the Davies USGS who will be deploying a fiber optic cable and temperature probes.
