Geochemical and microbiological data from Jones Sound and Nares Strait, 2021/2022

This dataset provides an assessment of microbial communities with a focus on Jones Sound and Nares Strait. This dataset was collected in August 2021 and August 2022. This data characterizes geochemical and microbial trends at sites with and without marine-terminating glaciers.

Environmental Metadata from Arctic Stations
Dataset: devon_16S_2021-2022_table-metadata.csv
Dataset: devon_16S_2021-2022_table-metadata_upper50m.csv
Description: Hydrographic, chemical, and ecological metadata from multiple sampling sites, including glacier proximity, depth, nutrients, and CTD data. Two datasets provided, one for samples collected along the entire water column (0-500 m), and the other filtered for samples only in the upper 50 m of the water column.

Bacterial and Archaeal 16S Community Composition (ASVs)
Dataset: devon_16S_2021-2022_table-ASV.csv
Dataset: devon_16S_2021-2022_table-ASV_upper50m.csv
Description: Amplicon sequencing data for the microbial community, including assigned ASVs (amplicon sequence variants). Two datasets provided, one for samples collected along the entire water column (0-500 m), and the other filtered for samples only in the upper 50 m of the water column.

Bacterial and Archaeal Taxonomy
Dataset: devon_16S_2021-2022_table-SILVA.csv
Dataset: devon_16S_2021-2022_table-SILVA_upper50m.csv
Description: Taxonomy associated with ASVs as assigned via Silva. Two datasets provided, one for samples collected along the entire water column (0-500 m), and the other filtered for samples only in the upper 50 m of the water column.
