Turnaround already deployed instruments to collect time series data to make evaluations of sediment transport, water quality, geomorphic change, circulation, and wetland stability. This 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.
Location
Chincoteague Bay, Virginia, United States, Chincoteague Bay, Maryland, United States
Summary
Successfully completed turnaround of deployed instruments at 6 sites, did final recovery at 6 sites, collected water samples for sensor calibrations, deployed 5 new sites (1048-1052), and conducted U-GEMS erosion experiments at 2 sites.
Info derived
