Abstract:

This dataset reports model BIOMARUN simulated oil bioremediation data. The simulation was focused on Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, Alabama. Elevation, water level, plume area, sediment aromatics, sediment alkanes, submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and recharge (SGR), salinity, nitrogen concentration, and oxygen concentration are included. This dataset supports the publication: Geng, X., Pan, Z., Boufadel, M.C., Ozgokmen, T., Lee, K. and Zhao, L., 2016. Simulation of oil bioremediation in a tidally influenced beach: Spatiotemporal evolution of nutrient and dissolved oxygen.
