Sediment Processes on the Coral Reefs of Kahoolawe: A Rapid Field Assessment in 1993 (NODC Accession 0000883)
The nearshore coral ecosystems of Kahoolawe were rapidly assessed in 1993. Surveys were made of the coral coverage, fish communities, and sediment types from 19 locations. This data has been published in a technical report (Jokiel et. al,1995) and a PhD D...
Grain Size Distribution and Fate of Transplanted Corals at Kawaihae, Hawaii: Field work of 1996-1997 (NODC Accession 0001141)
A harbor expansion was planned in the early 1990s for Kawaihae, Hawaii on the northwest shore of the Big Island. To offset the habitat loss, select corals were transplanted. This study looked at the effects of sedimentation on the transplanted and non-tra...
Porewater CO2–carbonic acid system chemistry in permeable carbonate reef sands
Porewater was collected from highly permeable, carbonate-rich, sandy sediments at two locations on Oahu, Hawai'i, CRIMP-2 on the Kaneohe Bay barrier reef and Ala Wai on a fringing coral reef nearshore to the Ala Wai canal and urban Honolulu. Samples were ...
Stream discharge, turbidity, and suspended sediment concentration in Faga'alu watershed, American Samoa from 2012-01-12 to 2016-11-15 (NCEI Accession 0191818)
Data on water level (stage), turbidity (T), and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) were collected in the Faga'alu watershed in American Samoa from 2012-2016. Stage data were combined with a rating curve to calculate discharge (Q, m3/s). Monitoring s...
Phase II in-stream sediment measurements in the Talakhaya watershed on Rota, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands from 2016-03-09 to 2017-05-11 (NCEI Accession 0166379)
The dataset includes TSS (mg/L), turbidity (NTU), stream level (ft), and precipitation (in) data collected at multiple stations across five streams and at four rain gauges during Phase II (2016-2017) of the Talakhaya stream monitoring project. Secondary ...
Terrigenous sediment dynamics in a small, tropical, fringing-reef embayment
"Anthropogenic watershed disturbance by industry, agriculture, deforestation, roads, and urbanization alters the timing, composition, and mass of sediment loads to coral reefs, causing enhanced sediment stress on corals near the outlets of impacted waters...
Sediment Dwelling Benthos as Indicator Species for Pollution Monitoring of Mamala Bay, Oahu, Hawaii, 1993-1994 (NODC Accession 9900121)
A multifaceted study of the sediment dwelling benthos was conducted in Mamala
Bay to identify suitable species as indicators of sewage enrichment. There are
five components to this study - 1) reproduction and life histories of potential
indicator species...
Thermal stress markers in colpophyllianatans provide an archive of site-specific bleaching events
"Tropical coral reef monitoring relies heavily on in situ diver observations. However, in many reef regions resources are not available to regularly monitor reefs. This lack of historical baseline data makes it difficult to determine how different reefs r...
CTD, pH and Oxygen Data from Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii 2004-2009 on R/V Kaholo in Support of Carbon Cycle Research (NCEI Accession 0099831)
Coastal oceans are most likely to be impacted by anthropogenic activities because they are typically shallow and have more restricted water circulation than the open ocean. Kaneohe Bay served as a test site to gain insight into aspects of the carbon cycle...
