Gas chromatography - mass spectrometry data of the "aromatic hydrocarbon" fractions of nearly 100 Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) and Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) sediment samples have been re-examined for the occurrence of organic sulfur compounds (OSC). Approximately 70% of the samples contain OSC with varying distribution patterns, although isoprenoid thiophenes are invariably present. 

Samples were made available by the support of the Deep Sea Drilling Project and the Ocean Drilling Program. This overview work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), grant No. We 346/27, while the original data collection have been financially supported by the DFG with grant Nos. We 346/21, We 346/23, We 346/24 and We 346/25.

Indian National Gas Hydrate Program (NGHP) expedition of ocean hydrates, recovering 493 core samples... 

The Indian National Gas Hydrate Program (NGHP) expedition of ocean hydrates was performed in 2006. During this expedition, over 494 cores were recovered at depths ranging from 952 to 2674 mbsf. The cores were distributed to a number of research laboratories (including USGS, GFZ, CSM, NRC) for meso-and molecular-level analysis on the hydrate samples (T. Collett and R. Boswell, Personal Communication, August 31, 2006).
