Coastal resource managers at CCNS and elsewhere are concerned about nutrients that are entering coastal waters via submarine groundwater discharge, which are contributing to eutrophication and harmful algal blooms. The research carried out as part of the study described here was designed, in part, to help refine assumptions required by earlier versions of models about the nature of submarine groundwater flow and discharge at CCNS. This study was conducted in four phases, with a variety of field techniques and equipment employed in each phase. Phase 1 consisted of continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) surveys of the entire study area conducted in 2004. Phase 2 consisted of CRP ground-truthing via resistivity probe measurements and submarine groundwater sampling from hydraulically-drive piezometers using a barge in the Salt Pond/Nauset Marsh area in 2005. Phase 3 consisted of supplemental detailed CRP surveys in the Salt Pond/Nauset Marsh area in 2006. Finally, Phase 4 consisted of sediment coring and porewater extraction in the Salt Pond/Nauset Marsh area later in 2006 to supplement the 2005 sampling. Purpose: To provide JPEG images of cores collected in the Nauset Marsh area of Cape Cod in 2006.

A portion of one core is missing. The missing image is from core 6, 300cm to 360cm. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Cores were collected with a vibracorer with an 8-cm diameter aluminum pipe advanced through a moonpool in a large Whaler (~20'). The locations of the cores were selected to approximately reoccupy some of the 2005 drilling locations.

The photographs cover roughly 60 cm of the core length, therefore multiple photographs were necessary to cover the complete core. One photo is missing from core 6 - the section covering 300 cm - 360 cm. Process_Date: 20060811 Process_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: John F.
