Sediment TN,TC and porewater DOC, DIC, DON concentrations from pushcore samples collected at Guaymas Basin hydrothermal vents via Alvin dives on RV/Atlantis cruise AT42-05, Nov. 2018

Abstract:

Porewater nutrient concentrations from pushcore samples collected at two locations in the Guaymas Basin hydrothermal vents region during Alvin dives on RV/Atlantis cruise AT42-05, Nov. 2018. TN, TC, DOC, DIC, and DON concentrations at different depths within the cores are reported.

Description

Methods & Sampling

Alvin pushcores dedicated to nutrient analyses were sectioned to recover the 0-6cm, 6-12, and 12-18cm fractions, or the 0-10, 10-20, and 20-30cm fractions. Two ~40ml samples of sediment were placed in 50 ml Falcon tubes and were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes to separate porewater from the sediment.

TC and TN: The sediment cakes were analyzed for %Total Nitrogen (TN) and %Total Carbon (TC).

DIC, DOC, DON: 10 ml of the porewater was collected into septa vials for dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON). The headspace was flushed with nitrogen and the samples were stored inverted at 4oC.

All porewater analyses were performed at Louisiana State University Wetland Biogeochemistry Analytical Services.;

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions and match porewater nutrients dataset
- re-formatted date from d/m/yyyy to ISO format: yyyy-mm-dd
- TN and TC table was combined with the DOC, DIC, DON table

Instruments

Nutrient Autoanalyzer

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Nutrient Autoanalyzer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB04/

Generic Description:

Nutrient Autoanalyzer is a generic term used when specific type, make and model were not specified. In general, a Nutrient Autoanalyzer is an automated flow-thru system for doing nutrient analysis (nitrate, ammonium, orthophosphate, and silicate) on seawater samples.

Push Corer

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Used to collect sediment samples

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Push Corer

Generic Description:

Capable of being performed in numerous environments, push coring is just as it sounds. Push coring is simply pushing the core barrel (often an aluminum or polycarbonate tube) into the sediment by hand. A push core is useful in that it causes very little disturbance to the more delicate upper layers of a sub-aqueous sediment.
