Abstract:

This dataset includes images of sediment samples collected on the R/V Weatherbird II in May 2012. This cruise took place from May 20 2012 to May 21 2012. This dataset contains 14 images of sediment samples collected using Shipek grabs. Latitudes, longitudes, and depths where samples were collected is reported in a Word document. One sample was analyzed for stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in the lab. The delta13C and delta 15N, and percent carbon and percent nitrogen are also reported in the Word document. This dataset includes data funded under FIO Y1.x029.000:0001.
