&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Collection:&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;Data collected from dinghy. No vessel name. June 2009 and May 2015.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Sediment cores were collected during three expeditions to Celestun Lagoon in 2006, 2009, and 2015. Sediments were stored in cold (4 Celcius) storage. Short cores were sectioned at 2 cm intervals, and long cores were processed at 5 cm resolution. Foraminifera samples were sieved, deflocculated, and handpicked for geochemical analysis, including δ11B, 87Sr/86Sr, and δ18O.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Water samples:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
BCO-DMO dataset https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/941377 contains water sample data collected concurrently with the May 2015 sampling event.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;This study and Paytan (2021, BCO-DMO dataset https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/564766) both derive groundwater from the same regional aquifer in Yucatan, Mexico, and both studies review the effects of low-pH springs on saturation and calcification of organisms. They are different sample material.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The sediment cores and assemblages in Hardage et al.&amp;amp;nbsp;(2021, doi:10.25921/qkc1-yw35) at NOAA provide the sample material for the geochemistry reported in this study (foraminifera, bulk sediment, physical observations). The Hardage et al. (2021) dataset also contains additional lithology and geochemistry that can be paired with these new data for interested parties.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;

                            <gco:CharacterString>NSF Climate Research Investment (CRI) activities that were initiated in 2010 are now included under Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability NSF-Wide Investment (SEES). SEES is a portfolio of activities that highlights NSF's unique role in helping society address the challenge(s) of achieving sustainability. Detailed information about the SEES program is available from NSF (https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504707).
In recognition of the need for basic research concerning the nature, extent and impact of ocean acidification on oceanic environments in the past, present and future, the goal of the SEES: OA program is to understand (a) the chemistry and physical chemistry of ocean acidification; (b) how ocean acidification interacts with processes at the organismal level; and (c) how the earth system history informs our understanding of the effects of ocean acidification on the present day and future ocean.

                            <gco:CharacterString>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;NSF Abstract:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To date scientists have primarily used short-term single species experiments to study responses of organisms to increased pCO2. While these experiments are important, they represent an artificial situation, being isolated from many of the biological interactions. Moreover, these experiments do not truly reflect the effects on organisms over longer timescales in actual field situations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this study, researchers at the University of California at Santa Cruz will assess the utility of low pH submarine springs as field study sites for investigating calcification at low aragonite saturation. It has been reported that many reef-building corals cease calcification at saturation as high as 2.0; around these springs calcifying corals inhibit waters well below this value. Work will take place at a series of springs in Mexico where discharging water pH ranges from 8.07 to 7.25 and saturation from less than 0.5 to 5. While these springs are by no means analogs for future ocean calcification they can still provide a natural laboratory to study controls on coral calcification. Field observations are usually confounded by the presence of many potentially important variables in addition to saturation. Moreover, it is not trivial to quantify the natural spatial and temporal variability of the parameters of interest. Thus it is not clear how useful this setting might be for conducting extensive field based calcification research (high risk). Accordingly, the research team will conduct field surveys to map the chemical and physical characteristics of the water around the springs (and corals) and describe population and community patterns along the saturation gradient. They will install probes to capture the temporal and spatial variability. These observations should allow assessment of the site's utility for researching processes that sustain calcification at low saturation and for future manipulative experiments.&lt;/p&gt;

&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Collection:&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;Data collected from dinghy. No vessel name. June 2009 and May 2015.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Sediment cores were collected during three expeditions to Celestun Lagoon in 2006, 2009, and 2015. Sediments were stored in cold (4 Celcius) storage. Short cores were sectioned at 2 cm intervals, and long cores were processed at 5 cm resolution. Foraminifera samples were sieved, deflocculated, and handpicked for geochemical analysis, including δ11B, 87Sr/86Sr, and δ18O.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Boron isotopes were corrected using the standard-sample-standard bracket technique to correct drift and bias across each individual sample.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Note about aggregated data (means, standard deviations):&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
The averages are from the instruments themselves, not from true replicates. They typically take 4 to 10 readings and average the result, depending on the instrument. Since these are mass spectrometers counting individual ions, this averaging is necessary to reduce noise.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

            <gco:CharacterString>PI Supplied Instrument Name: Neptune multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICPMS). Instrument Name: Multi Collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer Instrument Short Name:MC-ICPMS   Instrument Description: A Multi Collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (MC-ICPMS) is a type of mass spectrometry where the sample is ionized in a plasma (a partially ionized gas, such as Argon, containing free electrons) that has been generated by electromagnetic induction. A series of collectors is used to detect several ion beams simultaneously.

A MC-ICPMS is a hybrid mass spectrometer that combines the advantages of an inductively coupled plasma source and the precise measurements of a magnetic sector multicollector mass spectrometer. The primary advantage of the MC-ICPMS is its ability to analyze a broader range of elements, including those with high ionization potential that are difficult to analyze by Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry (TIMS). The ICP source also allows flexibility in how samples are introduced to the mass spectrometer and allows the analysis of samples introduced either as an aspirated solution or as an aerosol produced by laser ablation.</gco:CharacterString>

A long, heavy tube is plunged into the seafloor to extract samples of mud sediment. A piston corer uses a &quot;free fall&quot; of the coring rig to achieve a greater initial force on impact than gravity coring.  A sliding piston inside the core barrel reduces inside wall friction with the sediment and helps to evacuate displaced water from the top of the corer. A piston corer is capable of extracting core samples up to 90 feet in length. Community Standard Description: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/51/</gco:CharacterString>
