Dataset for: Remarkable capacity for anaerobic oxidation of methane at high methane concentrations

The data contained in this dataset describes anaerobic methane oxidation rates (AOM), sulfate reduction rates (SR), methanogenesis rates, bicarbonate based particulate organic carbon formation rates (bPOC), and methane based particulate organic carbon formation rates (mPOC) from cold seep sediments. Cold seep and hydrothermally altered sediments that were assayed were from the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) aboard R/V Seward Johnson, Monterey Bay (MB) aboard R/V Point Lobos, and Guaymas Basin (GB) aboard R/V Cruise Atlantis 15-56 (AT15-56). Rates were determined by radiotracer techniques or by concentration changes in sulfate. All rates reported were determined for sediments incubated at in situ temperature and pressure.
