2001 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA1 Charles Darwin cruise 123 (2000) - Environmental sampling survey. Data analysis report: total organic carbon/nitrogen, sediment hydrocarbons. ERT Report R00/215 (Faroe Shetland Channel)

As part of Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA1, sediment samples were collected at the request of the Department of Trade and Industry (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) from Charles Darwin between July and September 2000. Samples for a number of chemical and biological analyses were collected. The analysis undertaken on the sediment samples collected were: total organic carbon and total organic nitrogen; total hydrocarbon and n-alkane content; and 2 to 6 ring polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) content. Excel files containing the data are also available.
