Identification and Quantification of the Temporal and Spatial Scales ff Variability in Particulate and Dissolved Material Associated with Specific Land-Use Activities in the Penobscot River System

Abstract

The long-term goals of this project are to identify and quantify specific optical and chemical characteristics of the colored particulate and dissolved fractions of the Penobscot River water system that are associated with defined land use activities (land use proxies), and to determine the scales of variability over which these proxies can be detected both temporally (i.e. seasonal and episodic events) and spatially (from the source into coastal waters).
