| 515F-926R 16S rRNA gene sequencing accessions from seawater and sediment samples from R/V Falkor FK141109 and R/V Thompson TN309 from the Mariana and Kermadec trenches, 2014 (Mariana Perspectives project) | The Free Vehicle Coring Respirometer (FVCR) is deployed from the ship and sinks slowly to the seafloor. After landing on a targeted soft bottom it slowly inserts four megacore tubes into the mud and retracts them using a drive motor, which closes the lids and seals the core. Each tube is equipped with an oxygen optode and water mixing pump to measure sediment community oxygen consumption in each core. Each core is trapped by a standard megacore core catching device and returned to the surface with the lander. The instrument also includes an oxygen sensor to measure the ambient bottom water. Data and a video of the coring operation are stored inside the titanium pressure housing. Samples from this instrument are designated with 'CR##'. | Free vehicle coring respirometer (FVCR) |
| Measurements of respiration, net photosynthesis, and gross photosynthesis of five different genotypes of Symbiodinium microadriaticum in culture at three different temperatures | SDR SensorDish Reader (Loligo Systems, Viborg, Denmark) | |

| Oxygen consumption by lobster larvae at different temperatures using closed cell respirometry for lobster larvae from Gulf of Maine near Boothbay Maine from 2021 to 2023 (Lobster Thermal Thresholds project) | A Unisense MicroRespiration System, with SensorTrace Rate software and Oxygen MicroOptode MR optical oxygen sensors, was used during microrespirometry trials on planktonic larvae. | Unisense MicroRespiration System |
| Performance of coral and sea anemone early life stages under normoxic and hypoxic conditions from lab and field experiments performed in Pennsylvania (USA) and Bermuda in 2023-2024 | Metabolic rates of larvae and juveniles was quantified via respirometry. | SensorDish Reader from Precision Sensing |

| Physiological measurements from sea anemones exposed to normoxic or hypoxic conditions from lab experiments performed in Philadelphia, PA, USA in 2024 | Respiration rates of adult and larval sea anemones were determined via respirometry using a PreSens sensor dish reader system. | SensorDish Reader from Precision Sensing |
| Respiration and Gross Photosynthesis Rates of Galápagos Macroalgae from 2022 to 2025 | We measured benthic algal dark respiration and gross photosynthesis rates in situ using a CISME system (a diver-portable respirometer) in Tijeretas, San Cristobal, Galapagos. | CISME system |
