Funding Program(s): Biogeochemistry, groundwater monitoring, and environmental assessment (LQ000I4)
Principal Investigator(s): Kevin Kroeger, Meagan Eagle
Affiliate Investigator(s): Joe Tamborski (ODU); Aleck Wang (WHOI)
Information Specialist(s): Jennifer O'keefe Suttles, Meagan Eagle
Data Type(s): Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography), Environmental Data: Meteorology, Environmental Data: CTD, Location-Elevation: Transects, Biological Field Study: Experiments (biological), Geochemical: Experiments (geochemical), Time Series: Geochemical Monitoring, Environmental Data: CO2, Environmental Data: Methane, 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 estuaries across Cape Cod, MA to examine environmental geochemistry and the impact of impoundments and restoration of salt marsh environments.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA
End Port/Location: Yarmouth, MA
Start Date: 2024-03-26
End Date: 2024-12-31
Equipment Used: Campbell met station, Bottom platform, RTK, LI-COR 7810 CH4 CO2 analyzer, Onset HOBO Temperature Logger, In-Situ AquaTroll 200 (CTD), Push Point porewater samplers, Masterflex Portable Peristaltic Pump
Information to be Derived: Time-series sensor data including water quality parameters, surface water level and flow, meteorological measurements; soil temperature; groundwater well CTD measurements. Seasonal tidal cycle sampling (surface water and porewater collections; static chamber greenhouse gas measurements).
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Surface water and porewater sample 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.
