Bottom lander deployed south of Martha's Vineyard, MA
An instrumented bottom lander is deployed south of Martha's Vineyard, MA in 2014 as part of the “Bottom Stress and the Generation of Vertical Vorticity Over the Inner Shelf” project.
Gas Hydrates Drilling Activities
Timeline of past drilling activities conducted by countries, private sector firms, government agencies, and academe that have helped to refine global gas hydrate estimates and possible future drilling and production testing
U.S. Atlantic Margin Seeps
Schematic showing the general setting of seeps on the US Atlantic margin and related processes, such as gas hydrate degradation, groundwater seepage, leakage through fractured rocks, or emissions from the seafloor overlying salt diapirs. Pockmarks shown in white, and the nominal updip limit of gas hydrate stability is represented by the dashed black line. Analyses

Collecting samples from a salt marsh
Jen Suttles collects water samples from a salt marsh tidal creek (East Falmouth, MA) for laboratory analysis of total organic carbon. These samples will be compared to data recorded by instrumentation deployed in an adjacent tidal creek as part of research efforts to quantify carbon dynamics in coastal ecosystems
Salt Marsh Observatory at Sage Lot Pond in the Waquoit Bay, MA
The Salt Marsh Observatory at Sage Lot Pond in the Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve serves as an important platform for research in coastal salt marshes. Infrastrucutre in this marsh allows researchers to access sites while maintaining habitat and platform health. The yellow “boardwalk” provides research access while minimizing impact on the marsh platform
...Sara Zeigler (USGS) uses the smartphone data collection app ‘iPlover’
Sara Zeigler (USGS) uses the smartphone data collection app ‘iPlover’ to classify the landscape characteristics in an area immediately surrounding a piping plover nest (here, protected with a black mesh predator exclosure).
Piping Plover chicks
USGS scientist Sara Zeigler holds piping plover chicks while working in the field with members of the Virginia Tech Shorebird Program. Virginia Tech scientists capture and band piping plover chicks and adults each year along the Atlantic coast in order to monitor population survival, reproduction, and movement (
