Contact(s): Renee Takesue Information Specialist(s): Renee Takesue Data Type(s): Environmental Data: Meteorology, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Chemistry Scientific Purpose/Goals: Characterize sediment geochemical, carbon, and contaminant changes associated with wildfire and potential loading to coastal systems. Vehicle(s): Mitsubishi Outlander G61-0912R Start Port/Location: Santa Cruz, California End Port/Location: Santa Cruz, California Start Date: 2020-09-09 End Date: 2023-09-30 Equipment Used: Onset HOBO RG3-M Rain Gauge, Handheld GPS, Hand-grab sample Information to be Derived: Grain size, carbon, charcoal, detrital zircon, carbon isotopes, radiocarbon, rare earth elements, metals, PAHs Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Notes: End date was changed from a 1-year period ending 9/30/21 to a total 3 yr period ending 9/30/23. End date was changed from original 3/31/21 to a 1-year period ending 9/30/21 to allow for sample collection for a weathering study 6 mo. and 12 mo. postfire.
