Hydrographic and bio-optical data collected from Ryder Bay, West Antarctic Peninsula, in January 2025

This data release includes sensor data collected from Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) casts during a field campaign to Ryder Bay in January 2025 as part of the NERC funded SiCLING project (Silicon Cycling in Glaciated Environments), led by Dr K. Hendry from the British Antarctic Survey. Four CTD casts were carried out within the Bay. This research aims to investigate the release of biologically important nutrients and trace elements from glacial sediments in polar coastal environments, and the biogeochemical impact of ongoing glacier retreat.
