Site visit to investigate overwash deposits as a result of Hurricane Matthew. Goals are to collect beach profiles, map overwash deposits, photograph impacts to the environment from the storm, collect sediment samples and cores of overwash deposits.
Location
Matanzas Inlet to Canaveral National Seashore
Summary
Sediment samples and photographs were collected at each site.
Info derived
Overwash deposits at select sites mapped for areal coverage, cores or trenches dug to determine thickness of overwash, and eventual volumetric calculations of overwash deposits made. Photographic and visual information collected to develop a more robust sampling strategy in the near future.
