browse graphicGraphic not available.
This dataset contains chemical data collected on R/V Maria S. Merian during cruise MSM20-5 from 2012-04-11 to 2012-05-10. These data include particulate organic Carbon (POC). The instruments used to collect these data include Elemental Analyzer and Mass Spectrometer. These data were collected by Peter Girguis of Harvard University, Julie Huber of Marine Biological Laboratory, and Brian Glazer of University of Hawaii at Manoa as part of the "Collaborative Research: Characterization of Microbial Transformations in Basement Fluids, from Genes to Geochemical Cycling (North Pond Microbes)" project and "Center for Dark Energy Biosphere Investigations (C-DEBI)" and "International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP)" programs. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2022-05-13.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Particulate organic carbon from the formation fluids recovered from the CORKs installed at the North Pond in 2012

Dataset Description:
Particulate organic carbon (POC) from the formation fluids recovered from the CORKs installed at the North Pond in 2012 on MSM20-5. The North Pond is an isolated, northeast-trending, ~8 km × 15 km sediment pond located on the western flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) at 22°45' N and 46°05' W.

Details of these CORKS and their positions, construction and depth can be found in the Proceedings of the IODP expedition 336. See: http://publications.iodp.org/scientific_prospectus/336/336sp_6.htm

In addition to NSF OCE-1061934 (to Girguis), this dataset was funded by C-DEBI (OCE-0939564) sub-award number 41940192 granted to Beate Kraft.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
Carbon and nitrogen concentrations of particulate organic matter were measured by the Biogeochemical Stable Isotope Facility at School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, University of Hawaii. A few drops of sulfurous acid (6-9 % of H2SO3) were added to wet the filter and to remove inorganic carbon from the filter. The acidified filters were transferred to a 60 degree C oven for 24 hours. The dried filters were then transferred into a tin capsule before placing within a high temperature combustion CN elemental analyzer (Costech, ECS 4010) connected in-line with a Mass Spectrometer (ThermoFinnigan Delta XP interfaced with a ConFloIV) for analysis of their organic carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions. The detection limit for carbon and nitrogen content is 10 ug-C and 0.3 ug-N, respectively. The limit for reliable carbon and nitrogen isotopic determination is 10 ug-C and 10 ug-N, respectively.
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
