2013-2014 NOAA CTD data and sediment trace metals

This dataset has CTD and positional data from sediment grabs taken on the NOAA ship Pisces (2013) and Gordon Gunter (2014). Two shoreline collections from Louisiana and Alabama are included in the 2014 data. All sediment grabs on the NOAA cruises were made with a multicorer, unless a Shipek (R) grab is indicated. Samples from the multicorer tubes or the Shipek grab were subsampled to a depth of 5 cm. The two shoreline collections were taken to a depth of 25 cm (Slidell Louisiana, shovel collection) or to a depth of 5 cm (Dauphin Island, hand core). Sediment samples were sent to the Louisiana State University Ag center, where trace metals determination was made using EPA method 200.7.
