Laboratory tidal pumping effect evaluation

In situ cores created using unoiled Pensacola beach sand and Pensacola beach sand with the addition of weathered crude oil (GRIIDC dataset R5.x278.000:0010) were incubated in the laboratory. A trough with dimensions 90 x 50 x 40 cm and a computer-controlled pump worked as a tide simulator to mimic Pensacola beach. Oxygen was measured every 15 minutes using Hach rigid 02 optodes. This dataset contains laboratory measurements of oxygen and supports the publication: Huettel, M., Overholt, W.A., Kostka, J.E., Hagan, C., Kaba, J., Wells, W.B., & Dudley, S. (2018).
