Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Approximately 45 line kilometers per day was collected during the study. This included resistivity, radon and continuous surface water quality (salinity, temperature, pH). Shinn, Reich and Hickey installed numerous monitoring wells in Florida Bay in the mid 1990s and were revisited during this trip to collect various groundwater parameters. Wells were selected in the study region of eastern Florida Bay and were sampled for nutrients, trace metals, field parameters (temp, salinity, pH), and Radon and Radium isotopes.
