To collect carbonate dissolution, sedimentation, and radon measurements in the water column, at the sediment-surface interface, and from porewater samples to assess water exchange rates and acidification conditions for quantifying rates of chemical erosion to accurately measure, model, and scale rates of seafloor chemical erosion due to coastal acidification.
Location
Tampa Bay
Info derived
Mid-water-column and seafloor carbonate dissolution measurements, porewater and water column radon measurements.
Comments
March 2022 trip expected to require 2 field days - Tuesday March 15 and Thursday March 17.
This boat has a carrying capacity of up to 1500 pounds and up to 7 people and a shallow draft (9 inches empty). This boat's cat hull design results in a smoother ride in choppy water, at the expense of a slightly deeper draft. This boat is powered by two Yamaha 70hp motors.
