Stable carbon isotope ratios (d13C), stable nitrogen isotope ratios (d15N), and molar percentage data of amino acids were determined on one to five cm subsamples of sediment push cores collected from the Escanaba Trough during May to June 2022.

Sediment grain size was determined on one to five cm subsamples of push cores collected from the Escanaba Trough during May to June 2022.

Lipid biomarkers, including n-alkanes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and sterols, were measured on sediments from the Escanaba Trough, a hydrothermal spreading center off the coast of Northern CA.

Bulk organic geochemistry data were determined on one to five cm subsamples of sediment push cores collected from the Escanaba Trough during May to June 2022. These data include percent total organic carbon (percent TOC ), total nitrogen (percent TN), carbon to nitrogen ratios (C/N), stable carbon isotope ratios (d13C), stable nitrogen isotope ratios (d15N), radiocarbon values (D14C), and grain size (mean phi). Location information (for example , latitude, longitude, and depth) is also reported.

Organic carbon groupings representing different labilities were extracted from sediments collected in the Escanaba Trough from May and June 2022. Organic carbon groups included the total lipid extract and acid insoluble material. These groupings were analyzed for percent total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), stable carbon isotope ratios (d13C), stable nitrogen isotope ratios (d15N) and radiocarbon values (D14C). Percent TOC and TN data was used to calculate the contribution of each organic carbon ...

Nutrients were measured from porewaters of sediment within the Escanaba Trough, a hydrothermal spreading center. Location information (latitude, longitude, and depth) is also reported.
