Vertical fluxes of hydrocarbons on the North West Shelf of Western Australia as estimated by a sediment trap study
This study was conducted in order to provide preliminary information on carbon cycling on the North West Shelf, extending from Exmouth shelf to Exmouth Plateau. The research aimed to understand the spatial scale of petroleum biomarkers in the water column, and to estimate the speed of synthesis and degradation of organic matter and hydrocarbons in the water column and surface sediments
Six replicated sediment traps arrays were attached to wire moorings, fitted with S4 current meters below each trap. The arrays were deployed at stations throughout the region. Surface sediment samples were collected with a Smith-McIntyre grab sampler and core samples were collected using a Kasten Corer.
Using molecular lipid biomarkers to indicate the sources of biogenic organic carbon and petroleum, sediment traps were used to collect fluxes of lipids from settling particles. This composition was compared with water volume samples and surface sediments.

- Statement
- Statement: Standard operating procedures (SOPS) for the organic chemistry analysis were developed by Kathryn Burns. Extraction methods were consistent US EPA method 8270 or 525.2 for Environmental Semivolatiles. Routine Q & A procedures included: Complete procedural blank analysis conducted with each batch of samples. The use of surrogate standards to track recovery through the analytical preparations. Internal standards to ensure the accuracy of instrument injections. Instrument calibrations based on five concentrations of analytical standards which bracket the concentrations of anolytes in the samples. Standards and solvents are sourced from reputable suppliers and tested before use. Duplicate analysis of selected samples. Analysis of international reference materials and participation in international intercalibration programs. CSIRO: Franklin Cruise Summary FR9/96
