Summary
|
During the period 2/12/07 - 2/16/07, we collected 7 cores
from Oyster Pond, and 3 cores from Deep Pond. Details of positions
and core lengths are recorded in files in folder Cape Cod Cores
2007 on Michael Casso s hard drive.

Notes
|
Navigation technique: Hand Held GPS.
Coring on ice.
Ice thickness was between 5 and 7 inches. Safety equipment
included bouyant surfboard, drysuits, life jackets, ice claws, ice
anchors, rope, and plywood slabs to distribute weight near an opened
hole. Someone was on or close to shore to phone in a problem if the
ice failed. A ice saw was purchased after this sampling trip to
minimize shock to the ice while making a hole big enough to
accommodate the corer. No problems were encountered.
3 days at sea.
