Water Quality Sampling with LTER
January 15
The Virginia Coast Reserve-Long Term Ecological Research (VCR-LTER) is looking for 4-6 volunteers to assist in conducting our quarterly water quality monitoring on January 15th (with a weather backup day of 1/16).
- The day usually starts about 9am, and all boats are off the water by 2pm. We will leave from the lab in Oyster, with half the crew heading to Red Bank and half going out of Oyster.
- Each volunteer will be assigned an instrument and asked to provide readings at each station from the inlet to the harbor.
-
Volunteers need very warm clothes (no one is getting in the water), and we have some boots on site to borrow.
- Anyone who helps in the field is also welcome to stay a few hours to help process the samples upon returning to the lab.
- VCR-LTER staff often stay that evening for a cookout, which volunteers are also welcome to join.
You must sign up with VCR-LTER to participate. Please contact shoffman@virginia.edu to sign-up or to get more information.
The lab address is Virginia Coast Reserve LTER, Anheuser-Busch Coastal Research Center, 6364 Cliffs Road, Cape Charles, VA 23310.
