Radium and Radon Radioisotope Activity Data from Samples Collected Between May 2019 and September 2020 Along the West Florida Shelf (Amberjack and Green Banana Blue Holes)
Relict karstic features or sinkholes, often referred to as blue holes, are common features along continental shelves that are underlain by carbonate rich sediments and/or rocks. Several of these features occur along the west-Florida shelf within the Gulf of Mexico, including the two mentioned in Vargas and others (2022): Amberjack Hole and Green Banana Sink (hereafter referred to as Green Banana). Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS-SPCMSC) ... |

Short-Lived Radium-Isotope (Radium-223 and -224) Specific Activity for Samples Collected Between November 2022 and March 2024 Along the West Florida Shelf (Indian Rocks Beach, Nature Coast, and Venice Headland)
In 2021, a collaborative scientific investigation (National Science Foundation Grant Award OCE-2148989, Project 880516) was stated for the purpose of quantifying shelf inventories and boundary fluxes of dissolved organic nitrogen and dissolved iron to the West Florida Shelf (WFS) to assess their role in supporting the oligotrophic WFS ecosystem. To assess the spatial and temporal variability in submarine groundwater as a boundary source to the shelf, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, St. ... |
