Geochemical and mineralogical analysis of sulphide materials from Wetar Island, Indonesia (2002) and cruises CE11009 (2011), JC082 (2013) and JC138 (2016)

This dataset comprises the geochemical and mineralogical analysis of six samples of massive sulphide deposit. Three samples were obtained from seafloor massive sulphide (SMS) systems obtained during RV Celtic Explorer cruise CE11009 (Mid-Atlantic Ridge 45° N, 2011) and RRS James Cook cruises JC082 (Mid-Cayman Spreading Centre, 2013) and JC138 (Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 26° N, 2016). Three samples were obtained from land-based volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits on Wetar Island, Indonesia. It is thought these samples were obtained in 2002 at Kali Kuning and Lerokis Zones 4 and 5, but users should be aware there is little to no metadata about the Wetar Island sample origins. The sample analyses includes: (1) bulk geochemical analysis of sulphide samples by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for bulk and effluent analysis and inductively coupled plasma orbital emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), (2) petrographic descriptions of samples by reflective microscopy, (3) geochemical analysis of seawater samples during experiments by ICP-MS, (4) mineralogical analyses (X-ray Diffraction) of sulphide samples, (5) mineralogical analyses by Scanning Electron Microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) on sulphide grains, (6) SEM backscattered electron (BSE) images of reacted sulphide grains, and (7) surface areas determined by Brunauuer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. All analyses were undertaken as part of a PhD project which aimed to enhance understanding of sulphide oxidation kinetics, the formation of Fe-oxyhydroxide from sulphide oxidation, its capacity to retain metals that would otherwise be lost to seawater in SMS systems, and the implications for potential seafloor mining operations. Analyses took place at the University of Southampton and the National Oceanography Centre Southampton, funded under the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) project Ultramafic-hosted mineral Resource Assessment (ULTRA) grant, NE/S004068/1. This collection consists only of the data collected under the PhD project and not all data associated with the ULTRA project.

Explanation
BODC protocols are based on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model enabling BODC to iterate towards compliance with the on-going evolution and development of community requirements including FAIR (Findable,Accessible,Interoperable,Reusable), TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics). Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.

Statement
This dataset was created by the organisations with the "originator" role in this metadata record following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for long-term archive and data publication in the BODC Published Data Library.Instrument(s) used to collect data: optical microscopes; electron microscopes; inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopes; inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometers; X-ray diffractometers.
