Bulk density/porewater data reports measurements of sediment sample wet weight (g) and dry weight (g) for core sub-samples at 2mm sampling intervals for “surficial unit” and 5mm sampling resolution intervals to the base of cores. SLRad data were generated for selected core sub-samples. For sediment-core photograph data, sediment cores were longitudinally split and photographed with a Nikon D5100 digital camera with a scale in metric units (cm and mm) for a visual representation of sediment stratigraphy, color, and visual properties. The purpose of these cruises was to determine dry bulk density and % porewater content for sub-sampled core intervals, provide age control and sedimentation rates for sediment cores, and the visual representation of sediment stratigraphy, color and visual properties.
