Electrochemical data from sediment cores collected on the Louisiana Shelf of the Northern Gulf of Mexico during November 2020 on R/V Savannah cruise SAV-20-07

Abstract

This data set reports sediment depth profiles of dissolved O2, Mn2+, Fe2+, and total dissolved sulfide (SH2S) concentrations, as well as pH and current intensities of organic-Fe(III) complexes and aqueous clusters of FeS (FeS(aq)) that cannot be quantified directly. These data were obtained by profiling intact sediment cores using voltammetric and pH microelectrodes deployed on a computer-operated micromanipulator. Sediment cores were collected at five different stations on the Louisiana Shelf on the Northern Gulf of Mexico during the week of November 3-6, 2020 using an MC-800 multi-corer. These stations extend from the middle of the shelf offshore from Cocodrie, LA to the mouth of the Mississippi River North West Pass. All depth profiles were started within 30 minutes after collection. The field sampling was conducted during R/V Savannah cruise SAV-20-07.
