Physical, sedimentological and geochemical data for characterization of sediment cores from Terrebonne Bay, Grand Isle, and Port Sulfur, Louisiana from 2015-12-15 to 2017-05-18

This dataset includes high-resolution physical, sedimentological, and geochemical data used to characterize 15 sediment cores taken from the marsh and subtidal environments in the western Terrebonne Bay, Grand Isle, and Port Sulfur areas of Louisiana. The sediment cores were retrieved from 2015 to 2017 either by hand (qty. 12) or by vibracoring (qty. 3) and range from approximately 45 cm to 265 cm length. The cores were split lengthwise and analyzed down their lengths with a suite of non-destructive and destructive analyses to characterize the physical, sedimentological, and geochemical variation.
