Identifier A0412BI
Alternate names A-04-12-BI
Purpose to collect coral cores for geochemical analysis; to collect seawater samples for paleo hydrological proxy study
Description United States Geological Survey,National Park Service,Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park. Chief Scientist: Nancy Prouty. Coral coring, seawater sampling data of field activity A-04-12-BI in Kona (Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park (KAHO)) from 10/23/2012 to 10/28/2012
Location Kona (Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park (KAHO))
Info derived geochemical time-series providing historic record of land-use change (sediment input) and climate change parameters (sea surface temperature), collect seawater samples along a freshwater-salinity gradient to measure rare earth elements
