Measure winter beach elevation and grain size in Liberty Bay. Deploy in-situ sampling devices in Dogfish Creek.
Description
United States Geological Survey, Pacific Science Center. Chief Scientist: Renee Takesue. Beach Elevation and Sediment Profiles data (navigation) of field activity B-1-07-PS in Liberty Bay, WA from 01/18/2007 to 01/20/2007
Location
WA
Summary
Eighteen beaches were sampled over a 4-hour window around low tide (-2.5 ft MLLW) along the north shore of Liberty Bay from the city of Poulsbo to Point Bolin. Beach elevations were measured by Vivian Queija (NMD/Western Geographic Science Center) and grain size samples were collected by Renee Takesue (GD/WCMG). Digital photographs with scale bar were used to document grain size when grains exceeded medium pebbles.
Info derived
Cross-shore position and elevation; bulkhead location, extent, and characteristics; sediment grain size; dissolved concentrations of wastewater chemicals.
