Title:

Methane Distribution in River Mouth Sediments in Great Bay

Methane (CH₄) a potent greenhouse gas that occurs naturally in the environment and at elevated levels in coastal wetlands and in estuarine sediments. This study aimed to compare concentrations of CH₄ to the characteristics of the host sediment, specifically grain size (mud fraction and d50) and carbon content. The locations for this research are three sites within the Great Bay Estuary where we obtained sediment cores near river mouths (mid-stream, Winnicut, and Lamprey Rivers).
