Field Activity 2015-078-FA

Identifier 2015-078-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 Checked instruments deployed in groundwater wells measuring CTD (Insitu Aquatroll 200) and instruments moored in marsh creeks (CTD: In situ Aquatroll 200; Depth, Temp: Onset HOBO level logger). Downloaded depth, temp and conductivity data.
Info derived Geochemistry, elevation of transects along tidally restricted creek
Comments Checking instruments deployed in groundwater wells measuring CTD (Insitu Aquatroll 200) and instruments moored in marsh creeks (CTD: Insitu Aquatroll 200; Depth,Temp: Onset HOBO level logger) Field activity is part of an ongoing investigation and environmental monitoring program around Cape Cod. Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2015-042-FA
