Purpose
Reoccupy transects from April 2005 to resurvey sediment and processes on the
Molokai reef flat, including multi-spectral imaging overflight; survey of
upland landscape conditions; collection of nearshore samples along south shore
to recon forams (samples for Mary McGann)
Information to be Derived
processes and volume of suspended sediment
in water column; survey of foraminifera on the south shore to determine
changes along-coast; survey of upland landscape to determine sediment source
information
Summary
Ridge-to-Reef data collections: Survey
of suspended sediment concentrations on the reef flat at multiple times
throughout the day during a spring high tide/high trade wind cycle, including
simultaneous collection of multi-spectral imagery; survey of foraminifera on
the south shore to determine changes along-coast; survey of upland landscape
to determine sediment source information.
Notes
Platforms used; helicopter, small zodiac inflatable boat, and possibly
the Alyce C (boat) if needed for collecting samples in deeper waters on the
forereef.
