This dataset contains data collected on R/V Endeavor during cruises EN480 and EN481 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2010-07-17 to 2010-08-13. These data include depth below seafloor. The instruments used to collect these data include Microscope - Optical and Photometer. These data were collected by Rainer Lohmann of University of Rhode Island as part of the "Concentrations and source assessment of black carbon across tropical Atlantic air and sediment (Tropical Atlantic Black Carbon)" and "The Black Carbon Cycle: Budget and Fluxes of Black Carbon in South Atlantic Sediments (Black Carbon Cycle)" projects. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-10-06.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Methods and Sampling:
Sediment samples were collected via a 4-barrel multi-corer (R/V Endeavor, segmented into 1-2 cm sections, dried in a drying oven (35°C) and homogenized via mortar and pestle.

Instruments
Polished sediments were observed under a Leitz DMRX-MPVSP microscope photometer using a magnification up to 500X with reflected white light, uѵ fluorescence, plane-polarized light, and cross-polarized light.

Location:
Amazon Delta (approximately: 4 N, 47 W; 2400-3500m); Sierra Leone Rise (approximately: 7 N, 20 W; 2800-3800m).
