Synthesis of results, year-I and year-II: hydrocarbon analysis of surficial sediment southwest Florida shelf study.

Abstract

Hydrocarbon analysis for Year-I was performed on surficial sediment collected from 15 sites on the southwest Florida shelf ranging in depth from ca. 20 m. to 100 m. Year-II samples were collected from four sites at depths greater than 100 m. This report presents a synthesis of the results of both studies based on tabulations of key parameters presented for hydrocarbon characterization from each yearly report.
