Gulf Coast Tar Samples, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, July-November 2011.

Following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, coastal beaches were oiled. Some remnants continued to persist and may provide invaluable clues on the fate of oil in the marine environment. To track such changes, samples were collected for concurrent and future analyses. This dataset includes a list of all samples collected and available by request from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The information for these samples, and to make a request for samples, please visit https://www.whoi.edu/page.do?pid=73756. The dataset includes a pdf with a photograph of each sample, the date the sample was collected, the general area where the sample was collected and the latitude and longitude. Additionally an Excel spreadsheet is included that provides more detailed collection information for each sample.

深水地平线（Deepwater Horizon）漏油事件发生后，沿海海滩遭遇原油污染。部分残留污染物持续留存，可为阐明原油在海洋环境中的归趋提供极为珍贵的研究线索。为追踪此类环境变化，研究人员采集了样本，用于当下及未来的分析研究。本数据集收录了所有已采集的样本清单，相关样本可向伍兹霍尔海洋研究所（Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, WHOI）申请获取。如需了解样本详情或提交样本获取申请，请访问：https://www.whoi.edu/page.do?pid=73756。数据集包含一份PDF文件，其中涵盖每份样本的照片、采集日期、采集大致区域以及经纬度坐标。此外，数据集还附带一份Excel电子表格，可提供每份样本更为详尽的采集相关信息。
