Partnership Education Program intern Zachary Taylor and USGS Cooperative Summer Fellowship Program intern Simone Gibson collect a sediment core from a salt marsh in the Herring River Estuary. 

Partnership Education Program Intern Zachary Taylor prepares salt marsh sediment slurries for analysis. Zachary measured radium, a naturally occurring isotope, on sediment tracer of water flow through the salt marsh.

The Information Science group has developed 15 guidelines that describe data and metadata that are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR).

Each summer, scientists at the center mentor students through programs such as the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Summer Student Fellowship (SSF), the Woods Hole Partnership Education Program (PEP), the City College of New York/City University of New York partnership, and the USGS/National Association of Geoscience Teachers Cooperative Summer Field Trai

The USGS and the University of Maryland’s Chesapeake Biological Laboratory conducted a study in the Chesapeake Bay to quantify greenhouse gas fluxes from the largest estuary in the U.S.

Summer student fellow Rachel Einecker collects water samples from the impounded Herring River Estuary to examine production of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

USGS Cooperative Summer Fellowship Program intern Simone Gibson processes a marsh sediment core using a core splitter in the Core Laboratory. 

Summer student fellow Rachel Einecker measures iron concentrations in water samples using colorimetric methods. Dynamic iron cycling in coastal wetlands can suppress methane emissions.

In collaboration with the National Park Service, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the Vesta Corporation, the Environmental Geosciences group researched a new approach to climate change mitigation. The team led an experiment at the Herring River site as a first examination.

Two eddy flux towers continuously measured CO₂ and CH₄ emissions from two locations within the Herring River, Wellfleet, Massachusetts. Wetland water table depth and salinity were monitored across the impoundment.
