Abstract
NO3 fronts that are the result of local processes in the freshseawater mixing zone at the interface can alter ideas as to how we estimate land-derived N loads, and can provide insight into the processes that transfer nitrogen between fresh and saltwater. Understanding this heterogeneity is important for establishing a meaningful sampling protocol to estimate nitrogen loading to an estuary and for interpreting the likely sources. This research was funded by a National Science FoundationResearch Experience for Undergraduates Grant (OCE-0097498). Special thanks to Ann Lezberg and Eve Hinckley for help with chemistry protocols and to Marci Cole and Joanna York for their endless help in the lab. Also thanks to William Wilcox of the Martha's Vineyard Commission and the Kohlberg family for use of their land. Literature Cited
