2. Who also contributed to the data set?
   Special acknowledgment is given here to S.J. Williams (Chief Scientist of the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Reston, VA) who provided the initial opportunity for this database development and supplied extensive documents that permitted initiation of data entry. J.L. Kindinger (USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program, St. Petersburg, FL) provided cooperation throughout the work. A.G. McIntire (now U.S. Bureau of Census, Geography - TIGER Mapping Branch, Upper Marlboro, MD) entered many of the early data sets, converted the database to an initial Microsoft® Access format, and created many of the illustrations in the preliminary publication (Manheim, Hayes, and McIntire, 1998). G.C. Flowers (Tulane University Department of Geology, New Orleans, LA) provided an important unpublished electronic data set. We are grateful for the cooperation of J. Macauley and L.

2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

   Date: 2001 (process 1 of 3)

   The development of the current database involved four phases: 1) Discussions and interactions with knowledgeable individuals and agencies to identify and retrieve pertinent data from many sources, including unpublished data, 2) Selection and augmentation of a data dictionary to provide consistent field/parameter definitions and background documentation, 3) Encoding and integration of the data tables in a master flat-file database system involving eight basic tables linked by unique sample identification codes, 4) Selective querying, mapping, and interpretation of the data with the help of standard data sets to identify potential outliers and quality problems and to identify key geochemical and environmental relationships and processes. Environmental issues include linking the chemical data to bulk sediment toxicity criteria, searching for possible contaminant sources, and identifying transport and geochemical processes. The in-depth inventory and assessment was only possible with the help of many partners and cooperators. The processing of the information took place from 1996 to 2001. The process date reflects the most recent date. Data sources used in this process:

   Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.50 flagged. This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. Minor edits to the structure of the metadata were performed such as removing extra carriage returns. Numerous edits were made in the entity and attribute section to add expected elements to eliminate parsing error messages. This often meant adding the text "Information unavailable from original metadata" for those required fields that were absent. The DOI link was added to the identification section as well as to some cross-references. Added access instructions for the online resources. The metadata date (but not the metadata creator - which Peter set to himself) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent. Additional edits were probably made to the original metadata by someone else who did not document what they changed. (20210412) Tweaked a thesaurus name (20211117).

3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

1. How well have the observations been checked?
   A variety of methods were used to analyze the accuracy and suitability of data for their intended purposes. These are described in detail in the report, but include knowledgeable assessment of expected relationships among geochemical measures, inspection of the range of values present, bivariate plots of related measures, and comparison of nearby samples for anomalies. Assessments of the quality of individual measurements are included in the data as ancillary attributes; the report refers to these as "quality-control fields". The designation "W" in quality-control fields placed adjacent to data fields in the full database warns that the data in question appear to show unresolvable anomalies. "0" in a concentration field means that the constituent was analyzed and found to have a concentration below the detection limit for the method utilized. (Zeros are different, therefore, from blank fields, which show that the constituent was not measured). Other remarks in the quality-control fields provide comments relating to the data that may be helpful in interpreting or further evaluating the data. See appendix B for further explanations on quality control and codes.
2. How accurate are the geographic locations?
   Some latitudes and longitudes listed for stations near New Orleans were found to plot on land, rather than offshore. Fortunately, supplementary site descriptions available in the original reference made better site identification possible in this case.
3. How accurate are the heights or depths?
   
4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?
   The report includes sample location maps (as images) that indicate the general distribution of analytical data. Empty cell values in tables indicate analyses that were not obtained from the given location.
5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?
   The data in this study have been acquired from historical sources as well as from ongoing field programs. It is not feasible to apply the standard quality-control protocols that check on the details of sampling and analytical methodology (see Baker and Kravitz, 1992) to heterogeneous data. To rescue data while minimizing problems associated with data comparability, special batch screening techniques were used to identify and call attention to data that have unresolved problems. Although such tests do not necessarily prove that the data are in error, they alert users to data that should be reevaluated or confirmed before use in environmental characterization.
