The dataset includes up to 706 observations (including field replicates) per sediment parameter, reflecting 93 unique sampling locations, with each location having been sampled from 1 to 28 times (excluding field replicates) over this 8-year period. There were four spatially intensive field campaigns conducted (February\u2013March 2013, May 2013, October\u2013November 2014, and January\u2013March 2015), during which at least 90 sites were sampled. A sub-set of 13 sites were sampled intensively (20\u201328 times, primarily during 2015\u20132017) to create a more detailed monthly time-series at these locations. Sampling was conducted over a range of hydrologic conditions, from periods when the basin was essentially dry (no overlying water, even in \u2018open-water\u2019 habitats) to periods when the basin was nearly fully flooded (most sites with overlying water).  \nThis data release includes six data tables given both as excel (*.xlxs) and machine readable format (*.csv): 1) \u2018CCSB.SED_data.dictionary\u2019, the Data Dictionary, which provides definitions and details related to the other five data tables and includes citations of analytical methods; 2) \u2018CCSB.SED_2010-17\u2019, the primary dataset with spatial/temporal sediment and pore water analyses; 3) \u2018CCSB.SED_seq\u2019, a sub-set of sediment samples (33 sites collected during May 2013) assayed for Hg using a 5-fraction sequential extraction procedure; 4) \u2018CCSB.SED_grain.size\u2019, data on detailed sediment grain-size distribution (by laser-scattering Coulter counter) for 615 unique samples (plus n=65 field duplicates); 5) \u2018CCSB.SED_size.frac\u2019, a sub-set of sediment samples (33 sites collected during May 2013) size-fractioned into 5 size classes and assayed for total mercury and limited suite of parameters, including particulate surface area (at 15 of the 33 sites); and 6) \u2018CCSB.SED\u00ac_QA\u2019, quality assurance data summary.
