Bulk density/porewater data from sediment cores collected onboard R/V Weatherbird II cruise WB-0812 in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2012-08-14 to 2012-08-16

This dataset reports measurement 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. The dataset also reports percent porewater. The sediment cores were collected on board the R/V Weatherbird II cruise WB-0812 in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2012-08-14 to 2012-08-16. Chief scientists for this cruise were Dr. Steve Murawski and Dr. David Hollander.本数据集记录了以2mm采样间隔采集的“表层单元（surficial unit）”岩芯子样，以及以5mm采样分辨率直至岩芯底部的所有岩芯子样的沉积物样品湿重（g）与干重（g）测定结果。容重（bulk density）指单位采样体积对应的干重，单位为g/cm³。本数据集同时提供了孔隙水百分含量数据。沉积物岩芯采集于2012年8月14日至2012年8月16日期间，由“气象鸟二号（R/V Weatherbird II）”调查船执行的WB-0812航次在墨西哥湾北部开展。本航次的首席科学家为史蒂夫·穆拉维斯基（Steve Murawski）博士与戴维·霍兰德（David Hollander）博士。
