Abstract

Electrochemistry data from sediments collected on R/V Savannah cruise SAV-15-18 at the Cape Lookout Continental Shelf and Slope during July 2015.

Sediments were collected and profiled immediately with voltammetric Hg/Au microelectrodes deployed on a computer-controlled micromanipulator (Beckler et al., 2016).

Sediment cores were obtained by a MC-800 multi-corer and profiled within 30 minutes with voltammetric Hg/Au microelectrodes deployed on a computer-controlled micromanipulator. O₂₍ₐq₎, Mn(II), Fe(II), Org-Fe(III), FeS₍ₐq₎, and SH2S were measured by voltammetry using non-invasive mercury/gold (Hg/Au) microelectrodes (Luther et al., 2008) in intact sediment cores. Org-Fe(III) and FeS(aq) cannot be quantified by these methods and are reported in current intensities.

Problem report: Some of the data are missing because pore water volumes were too low to make all the measurements.
