| Purpose | Site visit to coral calcification monitoring stations to measure coral and algal calcification rates. Coral drilling to obtain samples for Sr/Ca temperature proxy work. | ||||||||
| Location | Dry Tortugas National Park | ||||||||
| Summary | Measured buoyant mass of n = 10 colonies of Siderastrea siderea, and dry mass of crustose coralline algae gained on n = 10 tiles. Maintenance of station. Coral coring of at least 3 coral heads. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for coral Siderastrea siderea and crustose coralline algal communities on nylon tiles. Hourly temperature data for past 6 months. Coral growth rates from coral cores extending back approximately 100 years. Sr/Ca-derived sea surface temperature estimates using coral cores extending back approximately 100 years. | ||||||||

| USGS Archive of Computed tomography (CT) Scans of Coral Cores | Hydraulic Coring Drill | This data release presents computed tomography (CT) imagery generated from coral core samples curated within the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coral-Core Archive. These data were collected as part of ongoing USGS coral-reef research activities and include samples originating from multiple locations and collection efforts. A Geotek Rotating X-ray CT (RXCT) system was used to acquire x-ray images and perform CT reconstructions of archived coral cores. The full three-dimensional CT dataset consists of individual axial slices which are reconstructed images in TIFF format. These axial slices are oriented perpendicular to the long axis of the core. Two-dimensional orthogonal views are also provided that illustrate representative downcore slabs of each core. Geotek software-proprietary XML files are provided in each folder containing axial slices and orthogonal views, containing more image-scaling and information on x-ray system settings and reconstruction parameters. This data release allows future expansions of the archive to incorporate CT imagery scanned under the same consistent methodology from additional coral cores, locations, and collection efforts. | Ferdinand K Oberle |
