Coastal Contaminant Migration Monitoring: The Trident Probe and UltraSeep System. Hardware Description, Protocols, and Procedures

Abstract

Building on historical advances, a collaborative effort between the Environmental Sciences Laboratory at SSC San Diego and the Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program set out to develop improved methods for (1) identifying the spatial location where exchange is likely to take place, and (2) accurately measuring the groundwater seepage across the sediment-water interface. This report describes the initial hardware development, testing, and field protocols for new techniques for identifying potential areas of groundwater impingement into surface waters (the Trident Probe), as well as techniques for quantifying the flow rates and contaminant levels of groundwater at the surface water interface (the UltraSeep System).
