Project: Life in the Dead Zone: Microbial respiration, production, diversity and gene expression in seasonally anoxic estuarine waters (LiDZ)

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.
