Abstract:

Sample information for sheens sampled on October 20 and December 13, 2012 near the Deepwater Horizon site, and comparison of GC-FID and GC×GC-FID olefin quantification. Note the cofferdam was sampled on October 17, 2012. Dataset for the publication Christoph Aeppli, Christopher M Reddy, Robert K Nelson, Matthias Kellermann, and David L Valentine, (2013) Environmental Science and Technology, 47(15), p.8211−8219.
