C-IMAGE data

Six cohesive sand patty sediments were collected on a West Florida Shelf beach in St. Petersburg Florida, January, 2013. These were analyzed for presence of PAH compounds and the composition compared to measurements from known Deepwater Horizon contaminated beach sediments. Known contaminated samples were collected from Santa Rosa Florida in July 2010 and January 2011, and from Gulf Shores Alabama in December 2012. The same samples were also analyzed for biological activity and the presence of Corexit dispersant (DOSS). This dataset includes concentration data for PAHs and DOSS in these samples. The biological activity in the water accommodated fraction of …
