Organic matter and sand content for backbarrier marsh cores from Metompkin island, VA 2012

Cores collected: Summer of 2012 Organic matter and sand content for backbarrier marsh cores from Metompkin island. Cores were taken from 6 different locations in the backbarrier on the south end of Metompkin island, with varying along- and cross-shore distances. The core sites are labelled MA-MF (eg: Metompkin core A, Metompkin core B, etc.), and each has an associated set of latitude and longitude coordinates showing the location where the core was taken. Included is the data for the percent organic matter, measured at 5cm intervals in the core, via loss-on-ignition experiments. Also included is the data for the percent sand, measured at 10cm intervals in the core, using a LS 13 320 particle analyzer.
