Database for the Geospatial Synthesis of Biogeochemical Attributions of Porphyrins to Oil Pollution in Marine Sediments of the Gulf of México

This dataset is associated with the journal article "Geospatial Synthesis of Biogeochemical Attributions of Porphyrins to Oil Pollution in Marine Sediments of the Gulf of México" by Muñoz-Arriola and Macias-Zamora (2022). The porphyrin and biogeochemical data were obtained by and analyzed at the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California's Instituto de Investigaciones Oceanológicas. The samples were collected to identify the effects of natural and human-originated oil spills in the Campeche Sound, and these efforts are part of the oceanographic campaign Xaman-Ek.
