Field Activity 2008-043-FA

Identifier 2008-043-FA
Alternate names T-43-08-NB
Purpose Piezometer sampling in Manhasset and Northport areas of Long Island (adjacent to Long Island Sound). Fall follow-up of May 2008 effort (field activity number 08007).
Location Manhasset Bay, Northport Harbor, Long Island, Long Island Sound, New York, United States, North America, North Atlantic;
Summary Piezometer samples collected from both Manhasset Bay and Northport Harbor. This included abbreviated shore-perpendicular sampling in each location and modest distributed sampling in Manhasset only. Also radon time series was generated from Manhasset only.
