Thames River Subwatershed Soil, Sediment, Water Data, Justin B. Richardson, Mark J. Butler Jul 2023

Thames River Subwatershed Soil, Sediment, Water Data, Justin B. Richardson, Mark J. Butler

Data and Datasets

Trace element and nutrient data are for riparian soils, suspended sediments, eddy bottom sediments, and river water collected between 2019 and 2020 in the Thames River watershed of Connecticut, USA. Trace elements and nutrients were measured using EPA 3050B digestion method and analyzed by ICP-OES or ICP-MS.


Hudson River Estuary Tidal Marsh Sediment Data, Brian Yellen, Jonathan Woodruff Jan 2020

Hudson River Estuary Tidal Marsh Sediment Data, Brian Yellen, Jonathan Woodruff

Data and Datasets

This repository contains data from sediment cores collected at six tidal wetland complexes that are located within the Hudson River Estuary. The sites include Stockport Marsh, Esopus Delta, Tivoli North Bay, Tivoli South Bay, Vanderburgh Cove, and Iona Island Marsh. A variety of core collection tools and methods were used to collect uncompacted records, including gouge coring, Russian peat coring, and piston push coring, with the method determined by coring environment. The general workflow for cores included (1) splitting; (2) Itrax XRF scanning; (3) subsampling cores ~10 cm spacing; (4) drying and burning samples for percent water, organic, and mineral …


Dam Impoundments Sediment Mass – Tributaries To The Hudson River, Brian Yellen, Jonathan Woodruff Jan 2020

Dam Impoundments Sediment Mass – Tributaries To The Hudson River, Brian Yellen, Jonathan Woodruff

Data and Datasets

This repository contains data from sediment cores collected during 2017-2018 from 17 impoundments that are located on tributaries to the tidal portion of the Hudson River as part of a larger NERRs collaborative project entitled Dams and Sediment on the Hudson (DaSH). A companion dataset that contains sediment core data from Hudson tidal marshes is archived at UMass Scholarworks data repository. Sediment cores collected from impoundments behind dams were recovered via piston push coring, which tends to minimize compaction and be representative of true sediment thicknesses. The general workflow for cores included (1) splitting; (2) Itrax XRF scanning; (3) subsampling …
