Continuous monitoring of surface water and pore-water depth, salinity, and temperature, soil temperature and meteorological data, and pore-water collection for chemistry analysis in a salt marsh study site to examine environmental geochemistry and the impact of olivine amendments on salt marsh environments.
Location
Wellfleet, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, United States
Summary
Sediment and porewater collections are completed. Samples are stored in WHSC walk-in freezers and refrigerators or distributed to external laboratories for analysis. Gas flux and CTD measurements are completed. Raw data files and field notes are stored in WHSC network folders.
Info derived
Time-series sensor data soil temperature; well porewater and surface water CTD measurements. Discrete gas flux measurements of CO2 and CH4 from study site wetland vegetation sites will correspond with pore-water collections for chemical constituents (including DOC,DIC, Alkalinity, Chloride, Sulfate) and multi-parameter YSI measurements.
Installation of boardwalk and gas flux chamber bases at study site. Installation of wells and deployment of well loggers and temperature loggers. Kevin Kroeger, Jen O'Keefe Suttles, Adrian Mann, Wally Brooks, Sophie Kuhl, Meagan Eagle.
