Dr. Adrienne Oakley has spent several
years investigating sea level change and
sedimentation patterns in the region of the
Chincoteague Bay Field Station.
In June 2016 Dr. Sherrod joined Dr.
Oakley’s research students Adam Cooper and
Sarah Moriarty at their field sites to
perform Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
surveys to link the stratigraphy between
boreholes.
A full day in the field was dedicated
to the collection of GPR profiles at
Assateague Island and Greenbackville, sites
at which Dr. Oakley has extensive borehole
data from her previous research projects.
A
GSSI SIR 3000 GPR system was used with
400MHz, 270MHz, and 200MHz antenna.
Resistivity surveys were tested with
unsuccessful results.
