Description:

Abstract:

Geochemical analysis (including age-corrected radiocarbon stable isotopes, and elemental composition) and growth parameters (including calcification rate, density, and extension information) were measured from a coral core collected from a reef off the southern side of Tutuila, American Samoa. The core was collected near Matautuloa Point on 8 April 2012 in collaboration with the Ecosystem Sciences Division, Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Honolulu, HI.

Purpose:

This coral core was collected as part of on-going research with the Ecosystem Sciences Division, Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, NOAA, Honolulu, HI to conduct a suite of benthic habitat mapping, integrated ecosystem assessment, monitoring and management-relevant research activities of the coral reef ecosystems in the U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands.

Supplemental_Information:

The coral core extraction was performed under the American Samoa Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources Scientific (Permit Series No. 2012-57), Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary Research (Permit No. FBNMS-2011-002), National Park of American Samoa research (Permit No. NPSA-2012-SCI-0001), and Pacific Reefs National Wildlife Refuge Complex (Special Use Permit No. 12521-10001).

Process_Description:

The data values for the Delta-C-14 Attribute were revised to accurately report age-corrected values. The min/max values for the Attribute were corrected in the metadata, and the Abstract was revised to specify that the Delta-C-14 values are corrected for age.
