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 supply the written core log information for the cores collected in the Nauset Marsh area in 2006 in a format compatible with ArcGIS to be used as a relate table. A relate table is necessary when establishing a one-to-many relationship. In this case, the one-to-many relationship is between coreloc_2006.shp and the core log information contained in corelog_csv.csv. The common relate field is "site" Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 20060811 Currentness_Reference: ground condition Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: None planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -69.972178 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -69.963460 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 41.835817 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 41.830567 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: General Theme_Keyword: CMGP Theme_Keyword: Coastal and Marine Geology Program Theme_Keyword: core Theme_Keyword: geology Theme_Keyword: ground-water Theme_Keyword: log book Theme_Keyword: OF 2006-1169 Theme_Keyword: Open-File Report Theme_Keyword: sediment Theme_Keyword: U.S. Geological Survey Theme_Keyword: USGS Theme_Keyword: vibracore Theme_Keyword: Woods Hole Science Center Theme_Keyword: spreadsheet Theme_Keyword: core description Theme_Keyword: WHSC field activity serial number 06027 Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: ISO 19115 Topic Category Theme_Keyword: environment Theme_Keyword: geoscientificInformation Theme_Keyword: inlandWaters Theme_Keyword: oceans Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: General Place_Keyword: Atlantic Ocean Place_Keyword: Cape Cod Place_Keyword: Massachusetts Place_Keyword: North America Place_Keyword: United States Place_Keyword: Salt Pond Place_Keyword: Nauset Marsh Place_Keyword: Cape Cod National Seashore Access_Constraints: None.
