| | Description: | As part of the Gulf of Mexico Integrated Science Tampa Bay Study, many sediment cores have been collected throughout the estuary. Sites were chosen for the purposes of downcore stratigraphic and paleoecological analyses and are not uniformly distributed throughout the bay, but data from the top cores surface sediments can be interpreted to understand current estuarine bottom characteristics. A description of the bottom surface, such as sediment grain size, percent carbonates and organics, are important when evaluating hydrologic and sediment models of estuaries. This data set is composed of only the data extracted from the top portion of the sediment cores and can be used to interpret the bottom surface characteristics of Tampa Bay. |
