Raw ship-based Navigation Data from the Lau Back-arc Basin acquired during the Thomas G. Thompson expedition TN236 (2009)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Navigation system during Thomas G. Thompson expedition TN236 conducted in 2009 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Anna-Louise Reysenbach; Investigator(s): Dr. Anna-Louise Reysenbach and Dr. Margaret Tivey). These data files are of Shapefile format and include Navigation data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Diversity and distribution of thermoacidophiles at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and Collaborative Research: Using thermocouple arrays to investigate temporal and spatial microbial colonization in actively forming hydrothermal vent deposits, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE07-28391, OCE07-51839, and OCE07-52469.本数据集依托船载导航系统采集自2009年开展的托马斯·G·汤普森（Thomas G. Thompson）号考察航次TN236，本次航次首席科学家为Anna-Louise Reysenbach博士，参与考察的研究人员包括Anna-Louise Reysenbach博士与Margaret Tivey博士。本次采集的数据文件采用Shapefile格式，包含未经处理的导航数据。本数据集的采集隶属于两项研究项目：深海热液喷口嗜热嗜酸微生物的多样性与分布规律，以及合作研究项目“利用热电偶阵列探究活跃形成热液喷口沉积物中微生物定殖的时空特征”。本研究得到美国国家科学基金会（NSF）的资助，资助编号为OCE07-28391、OCE07-51839及OCE07-52469。
