Abstract:

The goals of this cruise were go sample in the DeSoto Canyon and revisit stations sampled in 2011. We sampled sediments particulate organic carbon, dissolved inorganic carbon, plankton and bacteria, and dissolved CO2+CH4. This dataset contains the sediment images collected from this cruise using a Shipec grab. It also reports latitude, longitudes and depths where samples were collected. Data for four samples analyzed in the lab for stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen and total percent carbon and nitrogen are reported. This dataset also include data funded under FIO Y1.x029.000:0004.

Purpose:

To assess the influence of oil and gas on water column and sediment biogeochemical processes and the distribution of substances that affect biological productivity.

Data Parameters and Units:

latitude (decimal degrees), longitude (decimal degrees), depth (meters), delta13C (ratio of 12C to 13C), delta 15N (ratio of 14N to 15N), %C (total percent carbon), %N (total percent nitrogen)
