Bulk density/porewater data from sediment cores collected onboard R/V Weatherbird II cruise WB-0814 in the Gulf of Mexico from 2014-08-14 to 2014-08-28

This dataset reports measurements of sediment sample wet weight (g) and dry weight (g) for core sub-samples at 2mm sampling intervals for “surficial unit” and 5mm sampling resolution intervals to the base of cores. Bulk density is the dry weight per sampling volume expressed as g/cm3. Dataset also reports percent porewater. The sediment cores were collected onboard the R/V Weatherbird II cruise WB-0814 in the Gulf of Mexico from 2014-08-14 to 2014-08-28. Chief Scientists for this cruise were Dr. Steve Murawski and Dr. David Hollander, and the objective was to create Gulf-wide baselines for sediment and fish.
