Particle Size Analysis (PSA) for seabed sediment samples collected in the North Sea during three Cefas cruises on RV Corystes (Cruise Codes CORY 10/2001, CORY 09/2002 and CORY 8x/2003) as part of a study on sediment biogeochemistry under Defra project A1224 in the period 2001 - 2003.

| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | North Sea Sediment Particle Size Analysis |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | CEFASec8531b7-d9ae-43a1-b9c6-43759e826589 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CEFAS3073 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2001-10-11 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2003-07-20 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Particle Size Analysis (PSA) for seabed sediment samples collected in the North Sea during three Cefas cruises on RV Corystes (Cruise Codes CORY 10/2001, CORY 09/2002 and CORY 8x/2003) as part of a study on sediment biogeochemistry under Defra project A1224 in the period 2001 - 2003. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Samples were collected by 0.1 sq m box core (NIOZ design) which was then subsampled using smaller cores. These were extruded to separate the 0-5 and 5-10 cm depth horizons which were then subject to PSA analysis in 0.5 Phi size classes, using standard procedures combining wet sieving, dry sieving, freeze drying and laser sizing, (Malvern mastersizer). Results give PSA distribution from -5.5 Phi (45 mm) to +11 Phi (0.49 µm). Summary statistics (% gravel, sand and silt/clay) and univariate indices of distribution (Mean, Sorting, Skewness, Kurtosis) were determined using GRADISTAT (Blott, S.J. and Pye, K. (2001) GRADISTAT: a grain size distribution and statistics package for the analysis of unconsolidated sediments. *Earth Surface Processes and Landforms* 26, 1237-1248) |
