Summary

This dataset records the depth to which free oxygen is available in seabed sediments; referred to as the Oxygen Penetration Depth (OPD). It also includes the original oxygen profile data, recording the depeletion of oxygen as the sediment is penetrated. Samples were collected from sites in the North Sea: Northern Dogger Bank, Oyster Ground and Sean Gasfield during various cruises on RV Cefas Endeavour throughout 2007 and 2008.
