Other ID: HR Towers and Wells 2024

Status: Pending

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

Funding Program(s): Biogeochemistry, groundwater monitoring, and environmental assessment (LQ000I4)

Contact(s): Meagan Eagle, Kevin Kroeger

Information Specialist(s): Adrian Mann, Jennifer O'keefe Suttles, Meagan Eagle, Thomas Brooks

Data Type(s): Sampling: Chemistry, Environmental Data: Methane, Environmental Data: CO2, Time Series: Geochemical Monitoring, Geochemical: Experiments (geochemical), Biological Field Study: Experiments (biological), Location-Elevation: Transects, Environmental Data: CTD

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 estuaries across Cape Cod, MA to examine environmental geochemistry and the impact of impoundments and restoration of salt marsh environments.
