TCO2 fluxes and pools for sediments in Jervis Bay, NSW (June and August 2008 and February 2009)
Geoscience Australia carried out marine surveys in Jervis Bay (NSW) in 2007, 2008 and 2009 (GA303, GA305, GA309, GA312) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through colocated sampling of surface sediments (for textural and biogeochemical analysis) and infauna, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video and stills photography, and measurement of ocean tides and wavegenerated currents. Data and samples were acquired using the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) Research Vessel Kimbla. Bathymetric mapping, sampling and tide/wave measurement were concentrated in a 3x5 km survey grid (named Darling Road Grid, DRG) within the southern part of the Jervis Bay, incorporating the bay entrance. Additional sampling and stills photography plus bathymetric mapping along transits was undertaken at representative habitat types outside the DRG.
This 126 sample data set comprises TCO2 flux and pool data for surface seabed sediments (~0 to 2 cm).

Bottom sediments were collected using a small Shipek type grab sampler.This device can collect an intact sample of sediment up to 5 cm by 12 cm in area and 5 cm thick. Upon triggering, the grab immediately covers the sample, which prevents washout of fine sediment during retrieval to the surface. Immediately after the grab was back aboard, the surface sediments were spooned into two 58 ml falcon vials for the vial incubation experiments. No later than 4 hours after collection, the porewaters from one of the two falcon vials (time = zero (t0)) were extracted by centrifugation (8890 rpm; 5 minutes) and syringefiltered (0.45 um) into 3 ml containers that had been precharged with 0.025 ml of mercuric chloride. Approximately 24 hours later, the second of the two falcon vials from each site (time = one (t1)) were sampled by the same method. The porewater extracts were stored in the refrigerator prior to analysis for TCO2 concentrations.These concentrations were measured at Geoscience Australia using an AS_C3 DIC analyser (Apollo SciTech), with a certified reference material as a standard.The TCO2 flux measurements represent the amount of CO2 produced by incubating sediment over a ~24 hour period, normalised to the volume of sediment used in the incubation. The TCO2 pool measurements constitute the TCO2 concentrations of the t=0 sample corrected for the TCO2 efflux during the period (up to 4 hours) prior to centrifugation, and normalised to the volume of incubating sediment.
