Title:
Photos of retrieved sediment grab samples on surface, eastern Long Island Sound (2023)
Abstract:
Sediment samples were obtained with a modified van Veen grab sampler during R/V Pritchard and R/V Seawolf surveys of eastern Long Island Sound in August and November 2023. The sampling was done as part of the Long Island Sound mapping project Phase 4B. After the sediment grab sampler was retrieved on the surface, each side of the grab sampler was photographed. The images of the two sides of each sample are labeled A and B. The photographs are in Geo-tagged JPEG image format. For geographical location, the images where tagged with the location recorded for the sediment grab station which is based on the ship D-GPS system. The surface photos were collected to provide a better overview of the in-situ sample from which a sub-sample was taken for later analysis. The photos also record any shells, rocks and pebbles that might be excluded from later analysis. The work was funded with CT DEEP award CDEP 2003-191.
