Description

Species counts (per 200cm2) on rocks that were transplanted between active and inactive areas of Hydrate Ridge North seeps (AT 18-10).

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Alvin submersible placed and collected rocks.

Deployment-specific acquisition description

Species counts (per 200cm2) on rocks that were transplanted between active and inactive areas of Hydrate Ridge North seeps (AT 18-10).

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Specimens were identified to most specific level possible.

Deployment-specific processing description

<p>AT 15-68 was conducted with ALVIN at the northern, southern and southeast summits of Hydrate Ridge from July 30-Aug. 9, 2010, and AT 18-10 was conducted with ROV Jason, to recover experiments placed at Hydrate Ridge in 2010.</p>

Instruments

Alvin tube core

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Alvin tube core

Acronym: Tube Core

Generic Description:

A plastic tube, about 40 cm (16 inches) long, is pushed into the sediment by Alvin's manipulator arm to collect a sediment core.

Multi Corer

Supplied Description:

Ocean Instruments MultiCorer

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Multi Corer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/51/

Generic Description:

The Multi Corer is a benthic coring device used to collect multiple, simultaneous, undisturbed sediment/water samples from the seafloor. Multiple coring tubes with varying sampling capacity depending on tube dimensions are mounted in a frame designed to sample the deep ocean seafloor. For more information, see Barnett et al. (1984) in Oceanologica Acta, 7, pp. 399-408.
