This dataset contains data from heating experiments performed to investigate the temperature-dependent mobilization of dissolved black carbon (DBC) from marine and terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) reference materials under controlled aqueous heating conditions. The experiments were conducted with solid-phase extracted (SPE) marine DOM from North Equatorial Pacific Intermediate Water (NEqPIW), sampled and isolated at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) as described by Green et al. (2014), and Suwannee River Natural Organic Matter (SRNOM), a terrestrial DOM reference material provided by the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS) and fisrt described by Serkiz & Perdue (1990). The reference materials were dissolved in ultrapure water and afterwards subjected to temperature treatments of 25, 80, 100, and 180 °C. DBC was determined using the benzene polycarboxylic acid (BPCA) method after Dittmar et al. (2008) and Wagner et al., (2017). BPCAs were quantified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), and DBC concentrations were calculated from benzene pentacarboxylic acid (B5CA) and benzene hexacarboxylic acid (B6CA) concentrations according to Stubbins et al. (2015). The dataset includes benzene tetracarboxylic acid (B4CA), B5CA, and B6CA concentrations, BPCA ratios, and calculated DBC concentrations for the different temperature treatments.
The data publication contains all heat-flow data of offshore in the Guaymas basin. The data release contains data generated between 1959 and 2019 and constitutes a substantial update and extension compared to the last compilation provided by Becker & Fisher (1991). The data set comprises new heat-flow determinations published after 1991 as well as data from before 1991, which were not included in the Becker & Fisher (1991). The resulting updated database contains 487 determinations of heat-flow at 464 locations from 17 publications. 95% of the reported heat-flow values are determined from marine probe sensing technique and 5% in boreholes.
