Description: 
Sediment cores were sectioned into layers. The Average Layer Depth represents the midpoint of this layer below the sediment core surface (i.e. a depth of 2 cm represents 2 cm below sediment core surface). The sediment core surface is assumed to represent the in-situ sediment-water interface. Average Layer Depth is found by subtracting the Layer Start Depth value from the Layer End Depth value.
