متن کاملTracing Groundwater Flow on a Barrier Island in the North-east Gulf of Mexico
Groundwater flow on St. George Island, a barrier island in the north-east Gulf of Mexico, was monitored downfield from wastewater systems using artificial tracer techniques. Sulphur hexafluoride and fluorescein dye were used to determine groundwater flow velocity, hydraulic conductivity, and dispersivity at selected sites on the island. Monthly hydraulic head measurements illustrate the aquifer...
متن کاملDelineating the Drivers of Groundwater Flow at a Back Barrier Island – Marsh Transect in Coastal Georgia
Groundwater plays an important role in coastal regions by delivering freshwater and nutrients to near shore and salt marsh environments. To quantify groundwater flow, salinity, temperature and pressure, sensors were installed in shallow piezometers along a transect behind Blackbeard Island, GA. Located approximately 90 m from the nearest tidal creek, the transect reaches from a back barrier isl...
متن کاملGroundwater Thresholds for Root Decomposition and the Relation to Barrier Island Ecological State Changes
GROUNDWATER THRESHOLDS FOR ROOT DECOMPOSITION, AND THE RELATION TO BARRIER ISLAND ECOLOGICAL STATE CHANGES Matthew L. Smith Old Dominion University, 2015 Director: Dr. Frank P. Day Barrier islands off the eastern shore of Virginia exhibit distinct habitats that abruptly transition between periodically brackish/freshwater marshes, wooded swales, and sparsely vegetated dunes. There is strong evid...
متن کاملMicrobes, macrofauna, and methane: A novel seep community fueled by aerobic methanotrophy
During the discovery and description of seven New Zealand methane seep sites, an infaunal assemblage dominated by ampharetid polychaetes was found in association with high seabed methane emission. This ampharetid-bed assemblage had a mean density of 57,000 6 7800 macrofaunal individuals m22 and a maximum wet biomass of 274 g m22, both being among the greatest recorded from deep-sea methane seep...
