Sediment core data with accompanying environmental measurements from the middle region of the Chesapeake Bay, in seasonally anoxic bottom waters, collected in spring and summer of 2010-2011.

Core samples and sensor-based measurements were made during sixteen research cruises in 2010-2012: two 1-week cruises aboard the UNOLS vessel R/V Hugh R. Sharp, and fourteen 1-day cruises aboard the R/V Terrapin, which is a 25' Parker outboard motorboat with davit for deploying a CTD package.
