Description:
Abstract:
An investigation of coastal groundwater systems was performed along the north shore of Long Island, New York during May 2008 to constrain nutrient delivery to Northport Harbor and Manhasset Bay by delineating locations of likely groundwater discharge. The embayments are bounded by steep moraines and are underlain by thick fine-grained sediments deposited in proglacial lakes during the last ice age. Beach sand and gravel overlie the glacial deposits along the coast. The continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) surveys that were conducted indicate the existence of low-salinity groundwater in shore-parallel bands, typically 25 to 50 meters wide, along the shorelines of both bays. Piezometer sampling and seepage meter deployments in intertidal and subtidal areas of the two bays confirmed the presence and discharge of brackish and low-salinity groundwater. The large tidal ranges (up to 3 meters), and the steep onshore topography and hydraulic gradients are important variables controlling coastal groundwater discharge in these areas. For more information on the survey involved in this project, see <http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2008/08007/>.
Purpose:
The purpose of this PDF is to provide a copy of the data acquisition logs kept in the field. These types of logs can be invaluable in sorting out issues and questions related to the data collected during Field Activity Number 2008-007-FA.

Process_Description:
The individual PDF files were combined into a single PDF using Adobe Acrobat Professional version 8.2.2. Bookmarks were added such that the log maintained by Chuck Worley has the bookmark "CRW log", while John Bratton's logbook is under the bookmark "JFB log". The original pages also had to be rotated clockwise 90 degrees to make reading the logs easier.
