Sediment physical properties (Shelf Cruise and HKW Cruise 2017)

Figure (1) Map of sediment sampling stations and the physical properties (hypoxia highlighted)

In a map format, Figures (1) shows the physical properties of the surface bed sediments collected from the Shelf Cruise and HKW cruise in Summer 2017, including the median particle size (D₅₀), the silt and clay content by dry mass (i.e. % below 63µm), and the wet bulk density. The highlighted stations in boxes are among those where hypoxia occurred during the sampling period (i.e. DO <2mg/L).
