Imagery, laboratory analysis and sediment analysis oceanographic data were collected aboard the GYRE in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-09-13 to 2010-09-16 in response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill event on April 20, 2010, by the Subsurface Monitoring Unit (SMU), which consisted of multiple government and corporate agencies. These data include sediment properties. The instruments used to collect these data included sediment sampler - corer along with other physical sampling devices. More specific information about each dataset is located in their individual metadata records. Sediment cores were analyzed for physical characteristics, and recorded in photos and data files. Cruise level information consisting of data management documents, cruise reports and plans, videos and pictures, and other miscellaneous documentation were gathered by the data managers.
