California Coast Seawater and Sand Sampling

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2011-12-06 20:32

Mark,
Do you have any plans to regularly measure California coast Seawater samples and beach sand to see if there is a measurable increase in Cs-137 etc. from the Fukushima fallout contamination?

Beach samples

If BRAWM would like to test sand and seawater from the Santa Barbara, CA area, let me know. I live here in Santa Barbara and I would be happy to collect samples in baggies and clean bottles and appropriately label the origins and ship them to UC Berkeley. I would also be willing to do some traveling along the coast to collect additional samples.

I also own a top brand Geiger counter which I recently purchased as a result of the Fukushima debacle.

No plans, but good idea

No current plans, but that is a good idea. Unfortunately at this stage I don't think we have the time or manpower to collect samples ourselves though.

Mark, BRAWM team,

Do we take the lack of response to the question to be a 'no'?

?

If you yourselves aren't planning on doing this
California seawater and beach sand sampling post Fukushima,
do you happen to know anybody who is?

Aren't you interested to know the result?
