Field Activity 2016-021-FA

Identifier 2016-021-FA
Purpose Collect marsh cores, pore-water and surface water conductivity, temperature and depth time-series data, and conduct elevation surveys in 11 tidally-restricted estuary systems on Cape Cod to examine environmental geochemistry and health of the estuary.
Equipment or personnel only. Data, if any, are managed under a different field activity.
Location Outer Cape Estuaries, Massachusetts, United States
Summary Installation of shallow monitoring wells and ctd sensors, sediment coring
Info derived Geochemistry, elevation of transects along tidally restricted creeks
