For ongoing studies related to groundwater/surface water exchange, temperatures of streambed sediment along the bank, in drainage ditches, and in the river were measured using handheld thermal infrared (FLIR Systems, Inc) cameras and thermocouple (Digi-Sense, Inc) probes. Thermal surveys of the Quashnet river were completed from August 14 to August 25, 2017. Zones of spatially-preferential groundwater discharge were identified as cold anomalies in summer, reflecting the influence from groundwater temperatures of approximately 11 degrees Celsius.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/F7PN93QF", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.5e601d29e4b01d5092536dd5.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_5e601d29e4b01d5092536dd5", "keyword": ["Falmouth/Mashpee", "Groundwater", "InlandWaters", "Massachusetts", "Quashnet River", "Surface Water", "Thermal", "USGS:5e601d29e4b01d5092536dd5", "environment", "geophysics", "geoscientificInformation", "groundwater", "hydrogeology", "hydrology", "inlandWaters", "measurement", "seepage", "temperature"], "modified": "2020-08-26T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-70.51884, 41.57837, -70.49719, 41.63777", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Spot temperature measurements collected along the Quashnet River, Mashpee/Falmouth MA"}
