These databases are the result of short-term (usually 5 years or less) intensive research projects from North Inlet and adjacent Winyah Bay Estuaries. Some data result from multi-investigator multi-site research, while other data are derived from a single site from a single investigator.

Atmospheric Deposition
Back to Top

The National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network (NADP/NTN) is a nationwide network of precipitation monitoring sites. The network is a cooperative effort between many different groups, including the State Agricultural Experiment Stations, U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and numerous other governmental and private entities. The purpose of the network is to collect data on the chemistry of precipitation for monitoring of geographical and temporal long-term trends. The precipitation at each station is collected weekly according to strict clean-handling procedures. It is then sent to the Central Analytical Laboratory where it is analyzed for hydrogen (acidity as pH), sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, chloride, and base cations (such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium).

The Mobile Link Organisms Project
  • The LINKS project is designed to explore relationships between nekton and nutrient processing in three phases. The first year (2005) we are focusing on intertidal pools, where we are making simultaneous measurements of changes in nutrient concentrations and nekton biomass. The second phase will shift the focus to four intertidal creeks and the marsh, mudflat, and oyster reef subsystems associated with them. The last phase will focus on relationships between the intertidal systems and the adjacent subtidal channels.
