Abstract

The Petrel Sub-basin Marine Environmental Survey GA-0335, (SOL5463) was undertaken by the RV Solander during May 2012 as part of the Commonwealth Government's National Low Emission Coal Initiative (NLECI). The survey was undertaken as a collaboration between the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and GA. The purpose was to acquire geophysical and biophysical data on shallow (less then 100m water depth) seabed environments within two targeted areas in the Petrel Sub-basin to support investigation for CO2 storage potential in these areas. This dataset has analysis of Chlorin and geochemmistry for samples taken on survey.

Lineage

Bottom sediments were collected using a Smith McIntyre grab. Chlorins were extracted from freeze-dried sediment using the method of Schubert et al. (2005). Relative standard deviations of the precisions on duplicate samples averaged 2.9 for total chlorins and 1.8 for chlorin indices (the data for each sample is provided).
