Sunset at Sage Lot Pond Salt Marsh Observatory marks the end of 16 hour field effort. During this sampling, USGS researchers captured the exchange of materials between the marsh and estuary. This field site provides infrastructure to keep sensors deployed nearly year-round so changes across seasons and extreme events, such as large storms, are captured. The boardwalk allows scientists to access the marsh with minimal impact.

USGS researcher working on a “minipod”, a pyramid shaped bottom lander.  The cases contain batteries and electronics and the red spheres are the recovery floats for the lander.  The case with the orange stripe is an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, which measures currents throughout the water column and surface waves.  There is also a sonar which uses acoustics to take time lapse images of the seafloor out to 5 m around the lander.(Public domain.)
