Abstract

This dataset includes Circulation Obviation Retrofit Kit (CORK) dissolved ion concentrations from borehole samples collected using the Medium Volume Bag Sampler (MVBS) system from North Pond, an isolated sediment pond located on the Western flank of the mid-Atlantic Ridge, collected during ROV Jason-II dives on Maria S. Merian in 2012.

Standard Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) run on 0.2um filtered, acidified, subsamples from fluid sampling from IODP CORK Observatories.

Details for ROV sampling instrumentation are provided in Cowen, et al (2012).

These site descriptors 'shallow' and 'deep' refer to the umbilical that is in the borehole system.  Shallow, medium and deep refers to the depth in the upper basaltic crust where the umbilical terminates.
