AKA: none
Other ID: I-D1-11-SF
Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s): Subtidal-intertidal sediment exchange (MU281)
Principal Investigator(s): Jessica Lacy, Lissa MacVean
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Joanne C. Ferreira
Data Type(s): Sampling: Geology, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To determine the mechanisms driving the exchange of sediment between subitdal and intertidal habitats, and to determine how resuspension from the bed is affected by wetting and drying.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Port Sonoma Marina
End Port/Location: Port Sonoma Marina
Start Date: 2011-01-31
End Date: 2011-02-04
Equipment Used: samples, tripod
Information to be Derived: Flow velocities, salinity, temperature, depths, suspended sediment concentrations; grain sizes in suspension and on the bed, bed porosity, water content, and erodibility; wave characteristics.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Moorings to collect time-series data, and shipboard sampling during the deployment to collect calibration samples for optical measurements of suspended sediment concentration, and to sample bed sediment grain size and other characteristics.
