Length, width, perimeter, and sediment thickness of ice-rafted sediment deposits, Rowley, MA.
Following a historic bomb cyclone (Winter Storm Grayson) in January of 2018, a large volume of ice-rafted sediment was patchily deposited on the surface of salt marshes in the Great Marsh, MA. In May of 2018, twenty patches of ice-rafted sediments and paired reference sites (i.e., no sediment deposition) were delineated. In May 2018, August 2018, and August 2019, samples were collected to examine how ice-rafted sediments affected vegetation, infauna, and epifauna recovery over time. This specific dataset focuses on the length, width, perimeter, and sediment thickness measurements of each ice-rafted sediment deposit. This dataset is complete and please see our publication (https://doi.org/10.1007/s12237-021-01023-z) for more information.
