Microbial activity from sediments collected Fall 2019 in the Santa Barbara Basin using ROV Jason during R/V Atlantis cruise AT42-19

Abstract:

Sediments were collected in Fall 2019 across three transects in the Santa Barbara Basin using the ROV Jason during R/V Atlantis cruise AT42-19. Microbial activity in the sediments was determined by measuring sulfate reduction rates.

Methods & Sampling

Sediments were collected with push cores (6 cm inner diameter) along three depth transects across the Santa Barbara Basin using the ROV Jason.

Sulfate reduction rates were determined by injecting carrier-free 35S-Sulfate into intact whole round cores (2.8 cm inner diameter) according to Jørgensen (1978) and incubated for 1 day. Sediment samples were then analyzed according to the cold-chromium distillation (Kallmeyer et al., 2004).

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Data Processing
- Imported data from source file "Treude_Valentine_BASIN_2019_datasets_BCO-DMO.xlsx" into the BCO-DMO processing tool
- Combined data from multiple stations into a single file
- Separated data for porewater, microbial, and sediment into individual tables
- Modified parameter (column) names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
The only allowed characters are A-Z,a-z,0-9, and underscores
No spaces, hyphens, commas, parentheses, or Greek letters
- Added column for Cruise
- Changed date format from m/d/yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd (ISO Date 8601 format)
- Added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date

Instruments

Gravity Corer

Supplied Name: Gravity Core

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Gravity Corer

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

Generic Description:

The gravity corer allows researchers to sample sediment layers at the bottom of lakes or oceans. The coring device is deployed from the ship and gravity carries it to the seafloor. (http://www.whoi.edu/instruments/viewInstrument.do?id=1079).

Push Corer

Supplied Name: ROV push cores

Supplied Description:

Sediments were collected with push cores (6 cm i.d.) along three depth transects across the Santa Barbara Basin using the ROV Jason.

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.

ROV Jason

Supplied Description:

Sediments were collected with push cores in the Santa Barbara Basin using the ROV Jason.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: ROV Jason

Generic Description:

The Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Jason is operated by the Deep Submergence Laboratory (DSL) at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). WHOI engineers and scientists designed and built the ROV Jason to give scientists access to the seafloor that didn't require them leaving the deck of the ship. Jason is a two-body ROV system. A 10-kilometer (6-mile) fiber-optic cable delivers electrical power and commands from the ship through Medea and down to Jason, which then returns data and live video imagery. Medea serves as a shock absorber, buffering Jason from the movements of the ship, while providing lighting and a bird’s eye view of the ROV during seafloor operations. During each dive (deployment of the ROV), Jason pilots and scientists work from a control room on the ship to monitor Jason’s instruments and video while maneuvering the vehicle and optionally performing a variety of sampling activities. Jason is equipped with sonar imagers, water samplers, video and still cameras, and lighting gear. Jason’s manipulator arms collect samples of rock, sediment, or marine life and place them in the vehicle’s basket or on "elevator" platforms that float heavier loads to the surface. More information is available from the operator site at URL.
