Field Activity 2019-303-FA

Identifier 2019-303-FA
Alternate names 19CCT01, 19CCT02, 19CCT03, 19CCT04
Purpose Retrieve and redeploy sediment plates and water level loggers. Also collect shoreline positions.
Location Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve,Mississippi and Alabama, United States, Gulf of Mexico
Summary Collected and re-deployed sediment plates, water level loggers, and collected shoreline positions.
Info derived Grain size, sediment deposition, shoreline positions, bulk density, loss on ignition, micro-fossils
Comments Joseph, Isabelle, and Kathryn are collecting sediment plates, shoreline positions, and water level data with Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve staff using a NERR vessel. First sediment plate deployment was in July 2018 with sediment plates being collected/re-deployed every 3 months (October 2018 (18CCT10), February 2019 (19CCT01), May 2019 (19CCT02), August 2019 (19CCT03), and November 2019 (19CCT04)).
