| Description: |
Hurricane Sandy landed right on top of Dr. Tracy Quirk's wetland monitoring stations. Quirk had been performing wetland research for several years at monitoring sites in Barnegat and Delaware Bays in New Jersey. Recording devices installed at these sites continuously measured water level and salinity. As Sandy hit and water levels rose, those measurements continued. In February she began working on an intensive year-long project to evaluate ecosystem processes in New Jersey's salt marshes before, during, and for a year following Hurricane Sandy.
