Properties of sediment collected throughout the strategic placement of dredge material in south San Francisco Bay, California, 2023-2025

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: September 04, 2025 | Last Modified: 20250820
Bed sediment samples were collected from several sites within south San Francisco Bay, California, USA. Stations sampled were located within or adjacent to an area defined for strategic sediment placement. These stations were more specifically located either near instrumented stations where time-series data were collected, on/near a mound of placed sediment, or in a channel adjacent to an instrumented station. Time-series data are provided on the home page for this data release. Sediment samples were collected by ship-side push core sampling or subsampling a Gomex box corer with push cores. Push cores, which ranged in total length from 6 to 16 centimeters (cm), were sectioned by depth. The uppermost six sections from each core were 1 cm thick, and the following sections were 2 cm thick. Samples were analyzed for sediment properties including bulk density, particle size distribution, and percent carbon.
