Quality controlled water, sediment, tissue, and tar/oil chemistry analyses from the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill event in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-04 to 2011-06, sourced from NOAA's Query Manager data management system (NCEI Accession 0108924)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 01:22 AM | Dataset Last Updated: November 15, 2013 at 12:00 AM

This collection includes 4 data files (one each for water, sediment, tissue, and tar/oil analyses) containing data from the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) Oil Spill Event Response Phase. These data are the work of Federal agencies, state environmental management agencies and BP and its contractors. This dataset represents the culmination of a quality-control process overseen by NOAA and involving each individual data provider. These data were originally uploaded by the data providers into the EPA Scribe data management system (see Scribe Database Collection, NCEI Accession 0086261), and later transferred to NOAA's Query Manager system for final evaluation by NOAA. The files in this collection are extractions from Query Manager. This dataset is considered to supersede the Scribe Database Collection.
