Field Activity 2010-063-FA

Identifier 2010-063-FA
Purpose Sample groundwater from 6 wells around the perimeter of Oyster Pond. Determinations of the concentrations of mercury (in different chemical forms), nutrients, dissolved organic C, Fe, and other constituents will be performed at a later date. Profiling equipment will provide information on temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, Eh and pH.
Location Oyster Pond, Falmouth, Massachusetts, United States, North America;
Summary From 7/20/10 to 7/28/10 we collected water samples, water elevation data, and water quality parameters from 6 groundwater monitoring wells around the northern end of Oyster Pond (Falmouth, MA).
