Carbon and nitrogen content and stable isotope composition from sediment organic matter from lagoon sites along the Alaska Beaufort Sea coast, 2018-ongoing

Multiple sediment samples from lagoons along the nearshore Beaufort Sea are sampled seasonally by the Beaufort Lagoon Ecosystems LTER (BLE LTER) Core Program to investigate biogeochemical linkages between terrestrial, lagoon, and open ocean ecosystems. Sediment samples are collected during full ice...

Description
Summary:Multiple sediment samples from lagoons along the nearshore Beaufort Sea are sampled seasonally by the Beaufort Lagoon Ecosystems LTER (BLE LTER) Core Program to investigate biogeochemical linkages between terrestrial, lagoon, and open ocean ecosystems. Sediment samples are collected during full ice cover (April), ice break-up (mid-June to early July), and open water (late July and August) periods, and analyzed for carbon and nitrogen content and stable isotopic composition.
