Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from NORTHERN HOLIDAY Expedition stations

The cores described in this report were taken on the NORTHERN HOLIDAY Expedition in August to September 1951 by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography from the R/V Horizon. A total of 19 cores and dredges were recovered and are available at Scripps for sampling and study.

Environmental context of all samples from the Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013), about depth specific features

The Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013) sampled the world oceans on board a 36 m long schooner, collecting environmental data and organisms from viruses to planktonic metazoans for later analyses using modern sequencing and state-of-the-art imaging technologies. Tara Oceans Data are particularly suited to study the genetic, morphological and functional diversity of plankton. The present data set provides environmental context to all samples from the Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013), including calculated averages of mesaurements made concurrently at the sampling location and depth, and calculated averages from climatologies (AMODIS, VGPM) and satellite products.
