Field Activity 2015-042-FA

Identifier 2015-042-FA
Purpose Collect marsh cores, pore-water and surface water conductivity, temperature and depth time-series data, and conduct elevation surveys in 11 tidally-restricted estuary systems on Cape Cod to examine environmental geochemistry and health of the estuary.
Equipment or personnel only. Data, if any, are managed under a different field activity.
Location Outer Cape Estuaries, Massachusetts, United States
Summary Elevation, tidal information, geochemistry
Info derived Geochemistry, elevation of transects along tidally restricted cree
Comments Field activity is part of an ongoing investigation and environmental monitoring program around Cape Cod.
