Ground-Penetrating Radar in Select Peat Bogs near the Quashnet River, Mashpee/Falmouth, Massachusetts
July 8, 2026
During December 2023, the U.S. Geological Survey collected ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data in select small peat bogs near the Quashnet River to map the depth to bedrock for use as inputs to a groundwater flow model. This data release contains the raw GPR data from 22 GPR profiles covering more than 1.8 kilometers.

Groundwater flowpath characteristics drive variability in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) loading across a stream-wetland system Groundwater flowpath characteristics drive variability in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) loading across a stream-wetland system
Groundwater-dependent ecosystems in areas with industrial land use are at risk of exposure to a PFAS chemicals. We investigated one such system with several known PFAS source areas, where high and low permeability sediments (glacial) coupled with groundwater-lake and groundwater/surface-water interactions created complex ‘source to seep’ dynamics. Using heat-tracing and chemical methods...
