Abstract:

Methane data was collected using Laser sensor to look at the seeps at the site. Temperature data was also collected to look at the point sources. Oxygen data was also collected.

Purpose:

Using this data we can track methane plumes and looks at the effect of the surrounding community and water column. This data can also be used to target grab samples for further detailed analysis. Seep vs background
