Identifier 2019-634-FA
Purpose Service ARGUS cameras, thermistors, and game cameras. Conduct Electrical Resistivity Surveys, coring, and UAS SfM and thermal surveys over coastal bluffs.
Location Barter Island, Alaska
Summary UAS thermal, FLIR, and standard imagery collected.
Info derived Timelapse imagery of coastal change, coastal bluff elevation, temperature of permafrost, surficial and subsurface and geology.
Comments Fieldwork at Barter Island, Alaska. Service ARGUS cameras, thermistors, and game cameras. Conduct Electrical Resistivity Surveys, coring, and UAS SfM and thermal surveys over coastal bluffs. Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity AK 2015-624-FA, 2016-645-FA, and 2018-646-FA. A CIPRE corer will be borrowed from University of Alaska, Fairbanks (Ben Jones). A FLIR thermal camera will be flown from drone.

Grain size analysis and total carbon content of augered sediment samples from Barter Island, Alaska drillcore This data release contains grain size and total carbon analysis of sediment samples from 1 inch hand-augered cores collected from Barter Island, Alaska. These data were collected in 2016 and 2019 (USGS Field Activity 2016-645-FA and 2019-634-FA). Data include location information (latitude, longitude, depth), and the weight percent of 65 phi bins, four size fractions (gravel, sand, silt, clay), total carbon, inorganic carbon, organic carbon, and calcium carbonate.
