Abstract: This project would continue the data archival and interpretive services regarding hydrocarbon sampling and data management by the Auke Bay Lab. This project would make a large and complex hydrocarbon database available to principle investigators, resource managers and the public. This project would apply and extend hydrocarbon interpretation methods and archival of data developed in NRDA assessments to samples analyzed for the restoration effort and insure the comparability of analytical and interpretive results with those of the NRDA effort.

Datasets:
EVOSTC Data Archive: Final database of thousands of samples analyzed for hydrocarbons, including sample collection information, hydrocarbon analyses and numerical correlations directly related to oil. In FY94, 2742 samples were received and several hundred were submitted for analysis. dbf Availability: This database is accessible through Auke Bay Lab (907) 789-6000 and will be included on the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council Information Management CD-ROM available fall 1996.
