Purpose
|
Collection of Radon and Resistivity profiles in Florida Bay and surrounding
|
waters to look for SGD that may be enhancing the recent algal blooms in the
|
region
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
Resistivity profiles through various portions of Florida Bay, Barnes Sound and
|
Blackwater sound looking for variations in subsurface resistivity which either
|
represent lithologic or groundwater salinity changes. Radon mapping concurrent
|
with resistivity provides additional data for the detection of enhanced
|
groundwater surface water interaction (SGD).
|
|
Summary
|
Approximately 45 line kilometers per day was collected during the study. This
|
included resistivity, radon and continuous surface water quality (salinity,
|
temperature, pH). Shinn, Reich and Hickey installed numerous monitoring wells
|
in Florida Bay in the mid 1990s and were revisited during this trip to collect
|
various groundwater parameters. Wells were selected in the study region of
|
eastern Florida Bay and were sampled for nutrients, trace metals, field
|
parameters (temp, salinity, pH), and Radon and Radium isotopes.
