Processed ISEA Chemistry Probe Data collected with the Jason II ROV from the Lau Back-arc Basin during Melville expedition MGLN07MV (2006)

This data set was acquired with an ISEA Chemistry Probe on ROV Jason II during Melville expedition MGLN07MV conducted in 2006 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Charles Fisher; Investigator: Dr. George Luther). The data files are in Microsoft Excel format and include Fluid Chemistry data that was processed after collection. The data was acquired as part of the projects: Site evaluations and background studies of interactions among fluid chemistry, physiology, and community ecology for Ridge 2000 Lau Basin Integrated Studies; and, Bacterial population structure: evaluating gene flow in the symbionts of deep-sea mussels. Funding was provided by NSF grants: OCE02-40896, OCE02-40982, OCE02-40985, OCE02-41250, and OCE04-53901. This data was cited by Mullaugh, et al., 2008, Waite et al., 2008, and Gartman et al, 2011.
