Field Activity 2015-010-FA

Identifier 2015-010-FA
Purpose Recover deployed instruments to avoid icing conditions that could damage or move instruments. Instruments will be redeployed when threat of icing conditions has past, likely mid-March. Instruments are collecting time series data to support evaluations of sediment transport and wetland stability, which will support development of models of storm impacts on estuarine health, vulnerability of adjacent communities, and sustainability of restored and natural wetlands.
Equipment or personnel only. Data, if any, are managed under a different field activity.
