Cape Cod Trip



Cape Cod Trip

Special software is required to use some of the files in this section: .xls, .rm, and FEFLOW® software. FEFLOW® (Finite Element subsurface FLOW system) is a 3-D groundwater modeling software, developed by WASY, a German consulting firm. This section contains documents created from scanned original files, which are inaccessible to screen reader software. A "#" symbol is used to denote such documents.

This year, the class was given assignments to complete in the context of the field trip. The following files are the assignments and sample solutions.

Cape Cod Field Trip Assignment (PDF), and Solution (PDF)

Waquoit Bay Follow-up Lab Assignment (PDF), Solution (PDF), and Class Data (XLS)

These videos are all from the 2004 class field trip to the Cape Cod, MA USGS experimental site and Waquoit Bay National Estuary. The class was given a supplemental handout for the tour. (PDF - 3.1 MB)#
