Description: 
Sediment cores were sectioned into layers. The Layer Start Depth represents the top of this layer relative to the sediment core surface (i.e. a depth of 2 cm represents 2 cm below sediment core surface). The sediment core surface is assumed to represent the in-situ sediment-water interface.
