Equipment Used: Push corer, Gomex Core, RiverPro ADCP, Trimble R10, Nortek Vector ADV, CTD - RBR, watersamples, OBS
Information to be Derived: Hydrodynamic data, sediment grain size and bulk density, SSC
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Water samples were collected and analyzed for suspended sediment concentrations, sediment grabs were collected and analyzed for bulk density, grain size, and carbon. Tidal creek discharge was measured. Additionally, hydrodynamic data including current velocities, pressure, temperature, salinity, were collected at locations in the subtidal and intertidal shallows of San Pablo and Corta Madera Bays, and within a tidal creek in Corta Madera marsh. A marsh top sensor collected pressure and turbidity at marshes just inland from the intertidal stations.
