Processed Fluid Chemistry Data from the Lau Back-arc Basin acquired during Melville expedition TUIM07MV (2005)

This data set was derived from fluid samples acquired with a Major Fluid Sampler during Melville expedition TUIM07MV conducted in 2005 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Charles Fisher; Investigators: Dr. Helen Hsu-Kim and Dr. George Luther). The data file is in Microsoft Excel format and includes Fluid Chemistry data that was processed after data collection. The data was acquired as part of the projects: Site evaluations and background studies of interactions among fluid chemistry, physiology, and community ecology; and, Venture Deep Ocean, Lau Basin Expedition 5 of 5. Funding was provided by NSF grants: OCE02-40896, OCE02-40982, OCE02-40985, and OCE02-41250. This data was cited by Hsu-Kim et al., 2008.
