Description

Particulate C, N and carbohydrate percentages from sediment cores

Methods & Sampling

   PI:              John Hedges (Hedges/Lee/Wakeham)
   of:              University of Washington
   dataset:         Particulate C, N and carbohydrate percentages from sediment cores
   dates:           October 30, 1992 to December 13, 1992
   location:        N: 9  S: -12  W: -140  E: -135 
   project/cruise:  EQPAC/TT013, Benthic cruise
   ship:            Thomas Thompson
 
   Note:  
   Samples from station 10 and 15 at sediment_depth 0.0 cm are 
   are samples of the soupy portion of the cores that was slurped
   off the top before splitting was done. 


   Note:  
   The core samples analyzed are COMPOSITES of many multicores.
   Because these are composite samples, no single event number
   applies.
