Water-borne electromagnetic induction, handheld thermal infrared and sediment temperature, chemical, and pressure data collected at Hen Cove, Pocasset, Massachusetts, 2022
Groundwater discharge points to coastal waters can be identified and quantified using natural electrical and temperature data. In August 2022, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected water-borne electromagnetic induction and temperature along selected transects within Hen Cove on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, following a spatial survey of bed sediment temperature. Handheld thermal infrared data were also collected to locate areas of focused terrestrial groundwater discharge based on characteristic cool temperatures of groundwater in late summer. Those initial datasets guided the installation of vertical bed sediment temperature profilers, water pressure loggers suspended in piezometers, and the collection of pore water samples. The individual datasets from this study are described in more detail under the Child Items of this data release, organized by data type.
