Investigate geophysical controls on algal outbreaks over NPS coral reefs
Location
Ofu, American Samoa
Summary
Bottom-mounted oceanographic instrumentation was deployed to monitor tides, waves, current, salinity, and water temperature. Kayak-based CTD tows were performed to map surface salinity and temperature. Water samples were collected for nutrients. Time-series thermal camera towers were deployed to monitor sea-surface temperatures. UAS-based time-series thermal mapping was conducted to map sea-surface temperatures. Electrical resistivity surveys were performed to map groundwater.
