Field Activity Details for field activity 2021-027-FA

Other ID: none

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s): NFWF/Monitoring Beach Marsh (MN00GSM)

Principal Investigator(s): Neil Kamal Ganju

Affiliate Investigator(s): Alice Besterman, Buzzards Bay Coalition

Information Specialist(s): Noa Randall

Data Type(s): Sampling: Geology, Environmental Data: Turbidity, Environmental Data: Temperature, Environmental Data: pH, Environmental Data: CTD

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Recon trip to determine where to deploy instrumentation. The goal is to measure turbidity at the mouth of runnels (channels dug in the marsh as a potential restoration method to drain surface ponds) to determine if sediment transport is a factor to consider in this restoration.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Dartmouth, MA
