Social Media: Sediment Movement in Cape Cod Bay

To assess our #sedimenttransport prediction techniques, #USGS scientists deployed a high-tech instrument off #SandyNeckBeach in Barnstable, Massachusetts from March-April 2021 to measure water velocity, temperature, and salinity, wave pressure, tidal force, seabed changes, and sediment characteristics. 

These data will be used in a coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave-sediment transport model to increase our understanding of the drivers that control sediment movement in #CapeCodBay. This work will help coastal zone managers better address #shorelinechange issues.
