Porewater flow patterns in surficial cold seep sediments inferred from early diagenetic modeling and conservative tracer profiles in sediments collected during R/V Endeavor cruise EN559 in the Gulf of Mexico from 2015-05-30 to 2015-06-19

This dataset contains profiles of 226-radium measured during the R/V Endeavor cruise EN559 in the Gulf of Mexico from 2015-05-30 to 2015-06-19. It includes code to analyze the profiles and to determine the advective porewater velocities and corresponding confidence intervals, and a reaction-transport model to simulate the formation of gas hydrates and calcium carbonates in cold seeps with variable permeability. Radium was measured suing the Radium Delayed Coincidence Counter. The reaction-transport model was coded in R and C. The dataset also includes the location and date of the sampling collection sites. The cruise documentation was provided for the R/V Endeavor cruise EN559 led by chief scientist Dr. Joseph Montoya. This dataset supports the publication: Rooze, J., Peterson, L., Peterson, R.
