Other ID: CDR_22
Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, National Park Service
Funding Program(s): Biogeochemistry, groundwater monitoring, and environmental assessment (LQ000I4)
Principal Investigator(s): Meagan Eagle, Kevin Kroeger
Affiliate Investigator(s): Grace Andrews, Vesta; Aleck Wang, WHOI; Timothy P. Smith, NPS;
Information Specialist(s): Sophie Kuhl, Jennifer O'keefe Suttles, Meagan Eagle
Data Type(s): Environmental Data: CTD, Location-Elevation: Transects, Biological Field Study: Experiments (biological), Geochemical: Experiments (geochemical), Time Series: Geochemical Monitoring, Sampling: Chemistry
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Continuous monitoring of surface water and pore-water depth, salinity, and temperature, soil temperature and meteorological data, and pore-water collection for chemistry analysis in a salt marsh study site to examine environmental geochemistry and the impact of olivine amendments on salt marsh environments.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA
End Port/Location: Wellfleet, MA
Start Date: 2022-05-09
End Date: 2022-12-31
Equipment Used: RTK, Chambers for gas flux measurement, LI-COR 7810 CH4 CO2 analyzer, Onset HOBO Weather Station, Onset HOBO Temperature Logger, InSitu BaroTroll 500, In-Situ AquaTroll 200 (CTD), Pore water sampling, Masterflex Portable Peristaltic Pump, Creek moorings, Groundwater wells (PVC)
Information to be Derived: Time-series sensor data soil temperature; well porewater and surface water CTD measurements. Discrete gas flux measurements of CO2 and CH4 from study site wetland vegetation sites will correspond with pore-water collections for chemical constituents (including DOC,DIC, Alkalinity, Chloride, Sulfate) and multi-parameter YSI measurements.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Sediment and porewater collections are completed. Samples are stored in WHSC walk-in freezers and refrigerators or distributed to external laboratories for analysis. Gas flux and CTD measurements are completed. Raw data files and field notes are stored in WHSC network folders.
