Target alkane and aromatic concentrations for water samples collected in southeastern Louisiana inland and coastal marshes and multiple R/V Pelican cruises in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-05-17 to 2014-08-01

This dataset reports gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analytical results of water samples collected by Coastal Waters Consortium (CWC) researchers in southeastern Louisiana inland and coastal marshes and multiple R/V Pelican cruises in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-05-17 to 2014-08-01. This dataset contains a master file containing all water sample collection information and total target alkane and aromatic concentrations for each sample, five excel files (organized by sampling region) that provide individual concentrations of target alkane and aromatic analytes for all water samples listed in the master file, and an excel file providing the cruise ID for all water samples collected offshore on the R/V Pelican (The chief scientist for all cruises was Dr. Nancy Rabalais and data related to these cruises can be found in the R2R repository using the cruise ID). All files and data points can be linked using the LSU/RCAT ID number.
