Geophysical datasets collected during RRS James Cook cruise JC228, Guatemala basin (2022-2023)

A collection of geophysical datasets acquired during RRS James Cook expedition JC228 (December 2022 to January 2023) in the Guatemala Basin region of the North Pacific Ocean. Datasets include a processed bathymetry grid, sub-bottom profile, magnetics, gravity, ocean bottom seismometer (OBS) and multi-channel seismic (MCS) data. The aim was to sample fast-spreading ocean lithosphere of the northern Cocos Plate from its formation to subduction in the Mid-America Trench. MCS data were recorded along a linear transect with grids in three focus areas; two on the passively cooling oceanic plate, the third spanned the transition into the subduction zone. This work aimed to investigate the evolution of oceanic lithosphere as well as provide essential site survey information for two IODP Proposals: the flagship MoHole to Mantle initiative (M2M; IODP-805MDP) and the Bend Fault Serpentinization experiment (approved IODP-876Pre). The work was undertaken by scientists at the University of Southampton, UK, in collaboration with GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, Germany, funded as part of NERC grant ‘From Ridge to Trench, MoHole to Bend-Faults’, grant reference NE/M021246/1.

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) and transferred to the BODC archive at Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) for long-term archive, followed by data publication in the BODC Published Data Library.Instrument(s) used to collect data: multi-channel seismic reflection systems; multi-beam echosounders; gravimeters; magnetometers; seismometers.
