| Description: |
DAMOS (Disposal Area MOnitoring System) is a program begun in 1977 to manage and monitor offshore dredged material disposal sites from Long Island Sound to Maine. For more information on the project, see:

|
Some example projects by Exa include: |
|
> |
Plan, collect, and summarize field data collected at the Field Verification Program (FVP) dredged material disposal mound in Long Island Sound, consisting of sediment profile image (SPI) and sediment chemistry samples. |
|
> |
Evaluate different statistical methods to assess sources of dredged material based on sediment chemical and physical parameters. |
|
> |
Evaluate methods for using field bioaccumulation of small “Stage I” organisms as an environmental monitoring tool, including an assessment of the accuracy of the TBP (theoretical bioaccumulation potential). |
|
> |
Management of spatial and non-spatial data for long-term use of the monitoring program. |
