Abstract

This dataset contains photographs of sediment cores collected aboard R/V Weatherbird II cruises WB-0717 (2017-07-19 to 2017-07-28) and WB-1217 (2017-12-05) in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2017-07-19 to 2017-12-05. Sediment cores were longitudinally split and photographed with a digital camera with a scale in metric units (cm and mm) for a visual representation of sediment stratigraphy, color, and visual properties. The dataset includes the location, date and depth at which sediment cores were collected.

Supplemental Information

The dataset contains sediment core photographs (unitless). An excel spreadsheet contains the site ID, core ID, water depth (meters), latitude and longitude (decimal degrees), and core collection date (MM/DD/YYYY) for each sediment core photographs. Sediment core photographs (Jpeg image files) are named as - . The dataset also includes the cruise documentation for the R/V Weatherbird II cruises WB-0717 and WB-1217, led by chief scientists Dr. Steve Murawski, Dr. David Hollander, and Dr. Patrick Schwing.|Cores were split longitudinally into 2 halves.|Ocean Instrument MC-800 Multicore, Shipek Grab Sampler, Nikon D5200.|||

Purpose

Visually describe and assess sediment cores for stratigraphy and stratigraphic integrity as well as identify visual indications in changes in sedimentation.
