Funding Program(s): Coastal Aquifer Project - CAPII (GR.18.MN00.GVK11.00)

Principal Investigator(s): Christopher Smith

Affiliate Investigator(s): St. John River Water Management District University of Florida Florida Institute of Technology USGS - CFWSC

Information Specialist(s): Cheyenne Everhart, Arnell Forde, Kyle Kelso, Paul Nelson, Christopher Smith

Data Type(s): Electro-Magnetic: Resistivity, Environmental Data: Conductivity, Environmental Data: Dissolved Oxygen, Environmental Data: ORP, Environmental Data: pH, Environmental Data: Radon, Environmental Data: Sediment Properties, Environmental Data: Temperature, Sampling: Geology

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Map radon, salinity and water temperature, collect CRP and ERT geophysical data, water samples and sediment surface grabs to investigate submarine groundwater discharge within Indian River Lagoon.

Vehicle(s): Chevy Suburban Silver, Ford F-350 Dually White (GSA), White Dodge Pickup - White

Start Port/Location: Melbourne Beach, FL

End Port/Location: Melbourne Beach, FL

Start Date: 2017-09-25

End Date: 2017-10-06

Equipment Used: Continuous Resistivity Profiler (CRP), HOBO Water Temperature Pro V2 Data Logger, YSI Professional Plus multiparameter meter, Rad 7 Radon Detector, Bottom Grab Sampler, Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), Other

Information to be Derived: Map radon, salinity and water temperature, collect CRP data, water samples and sediment surface grabs. We will also be providing support for the Davies USGS who will be deploying a fiber optic cable and temperature probes.
