Bulk density/porewater data from sediment cores collected onboard R/V Weatherbird II cruise WB-0812 in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2012-08-14 to 2012-08-16

This dataset reports measurement of sediment sample wet weight (g) and dry weight (g) for core sub-samples at 2mm sampling intervals for “surficial unit” and 5mm sampling resolution intervals to the base of cores. Bulk density is the dry weight per sampling volume expressed as g/cm3. The dataset also reports percent porewater. The sediment cores were collected on board the R/V Weatherbird II cruise WB-0812 in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2012-08-14 to 2012-08-16. Chief scientists for this cruise were Dr. Steve Murawski and Dr. David Hollander.
