In 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey collected 24 vibracores within Apalachicola Bay, Florida. The vibracores were collected using a Rossfelder electric percussive (P-3) vibracore system during a cruise on the R/V Gilbert. Selection of the core sites was based on a geophysical survey that was conducted during 2005 and 2006 in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Coastal Services Center (CSC) and the Apalachicola Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Available data include the vibracore data logs and photographs, select seismic-reflection profiles (from the geophysical survey), and core-derived data including: grain size analyses, radiocarbon ages, microfossil counts, and sedimentological interpretations. The long-term goal of this study is to provide maps, data, and assistance to the Apalachicola Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in their effort to monitor and understand the geology and ecology of Apalachicola Bay Estuary. These data will inform coastal managers charged with resource preservation.

This part of the data release provides an updated georeferenced list of radiocarbon ages pertaining to evidence for a catastrophic precolonial sea flood on Anegada, a low Caribbean island perched south of the Puerto Rico Trench. The list contains 64 ages measured on carbonate materials and 3 ages measured on plant fragments. Among the total of 67 ages, 43 are among the 47 ages previously tabulated on page 318 of https://doi.org/10.1130/GES01356.l. The 67 ages exclude those from previous work on deposits attributable to the 1755 Lisbon tsunami (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-010-9622-6). Among the 67 ages listed, the 24 ages previously unreported were measured mainly on samples collected in 2017. The main material dated is the aragonitic skeleton of coral boulders, particularly of the brain coral Pseudodiploria strigosa. Also dated are shells of the marine bivalve Codakia orbicularis (tiger lucine) and of the iconic Caribbean gastropod Aliger gigas (queen conch). All 67 ages were measured by the National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (NOSAMS) laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. One pair of columns give the ages and one-standard-deviation error as reported, rounded to the nearest 5 radiocarbon years). A second pair expand the error term by adding variance, sample-by-sample, using a procedure described by the NOSAMS Staff (https://www2.whoi.edu/site/nosams/client-services/radiocarbon-data-calculations/). The added variance increases the error terms by factors ranging from 1.1 to 1.8, and averaging 1.4.

This dataset presents radiocarbon data from 87 samples from sediment cores collected in southern Cascadia (offshore northern California) aboard the M/V Bold Horizon in September-October 2019. Sample ages were determined by the National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (NOSAMS) facility and the W.M. Keck Carbon Cycle Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (KCCAMS) facility at the University of California, Irvine (UCI).

This part of the data release is a spreadsheet including radiocarbon sample information and calibrated ages of sediment cores collected in 2014 from the northern flank of Monterey Canyon, offshore California. It is one of five files in this U.S. Geological Survey data release that include data from a set of sediment cores acquired from the continental slope, north of Monterey Canyon, offshore central California. Vibracores and push cores were collected with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute’s (MBARI’s) remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Doc Ricketts in 2014 (USGS cruise ID 2014-615-FA). One spreadsheet (NorthernFlankMontereyCanyonCores_Info.xlsx) contains core name, location, and length. One spreadsheet (NorthernFlankMontereyCanyonCores_MSCLdata.xlsx) contains Multi-Sensor Core Logger P-wave velocity and gamma-ray density whole-core logs of vibracores. One zipped folder of .bmp files (NorthernFlankMontereyCanyonCores_Photos.zip) contains continuous core photographs of the archive half of each vibracore. One spreadsheet (NorthernFlankMontereyCanyonCores_Radiocarbon.xlsx) contains radiocarbon sample information, results, and calibrated ages. One .pdf file (NorthernFlankMontereyCanyonCores_Figures.pdf) contains combined displays of data for each vibracore, including graphic diagram descriptive logs. This particular metadata file describes the information contained in the file NorthernFlankMontereyCanyonCores_Radiocarbon.xlsx. All vibracores are archived by the U.S. Geological Survey Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center. Other remaining core material, if available, is archived at MBARI.
