| Title: |
Biogeochemical and microbiological measurements in the Cariaco Basin, a truly marine anoxic system in the southeastern Caribbean Sea, from 1995-11-13 to 2015-11-14 by the CARIACO Ocean Time Series Program (formerly known as CArbon Retention In A Colored Ocean) aboard the B/O Hermano Gines (NCEI Accession 0191401) |
| Abstract: |
Biogeochemical and microbiological variables were measured by Stony Brook University participants (see Author List) in the CARIACO Ocean Time-Series Program in order to study the microbial cycling of carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen occurring at depths where waters transition from oxic to anoxic to sulfidic. Samples were collected by Nikson bottles from 1995-11-13 to 2015-11-14 in the Cariaco Basin (southeastern Caribbean Sea off northeastern Venezuelan coast) aboard the B/O Hermano Gines, operated by the Fundacion La Salle, Venezuela. |

The goal of this project was to examine the interrelationship between microbial activity and water column geochemistry in the world’s largest, truly marine anoxic system, the Cariaco Basin. This project focused on microbial cycling of carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen occurring at depths where waters transition from oxic to anoxic to sulfidic. Over the 21 year program, the Stony Brook team typically staged cruises semi-annually during upwelling (Mar-May) and non- upwelling (Oct-Nov) periods. These 24-hour cruises were usually within a week of the routine monthly cruises staged by the Fundacion La Salle and University of South Florida team. Most cruises occupied only the CARIACO Ocean Time-Series station. On cruises 108 to 132, additional stations in the western basin and on the sill to the north of the Cariaco station were also sampled. Locations are given in the database. |
