Benthic oxygen and nitrogen fluxes measured by box core incubation and aquati...
Cold-water coral (CWC) reefs are distributed globally and form complex three-dimensional structures on the deep seafloor, providing habitat for numerous species. Here, we... -
Cold-water coral Atlantic thermocline ventilation records over the last 32,00...
The radiocarbon analysis of uranium-thorium-dated cold-water corals (CWCs) provides an excellent opportunity for qualitative reconstruction of past ocean circulation and water... -
Growth, respiration and mortality rates of live L. pertusa under gradually am...
In a 13-months laboratory experiment conducted in 2014/2015, the interactive effects of gradually increasing temperature and pCO2 levels on survival, growth and respiration of... -
Sediment grain-size, XRF and RockEval datasets for three on-mound cold-water ...
These sedimentological and geochemical analyses were carried out on three on-mound cold-water coral mound cores (MD13-3455G, MD13-3459G and MD13-3462G) recovered in the East... -
Presence-absence records for four cold-water coral taxa on the seamounts of C...
Presence-absence records for four cold-water coral (CWC) taxa (Enallopsammia rostrata, Acanella arbuscula, Metallogorgia spp. and Paramuricea spp.) were gathered to conduct... -
Cold-water coral mounds peaks off on the northern Namibia shelf
An exceptionally large cold-water coral mound province (CMP) was recently discovered extending over 80 km along the Namibian shelf (offshore southwestern Africa) in water depths... -
Morphometric parameters of the Squid Mounds (SQM), Namibian coral mound province
Quantitative morphometric analyses were carried out for each mound following the workflows presented by Purkis et al. (2007) The coral mound base was defined following the... -

Uranium-thorium dating of Atlantic cold-water corals from the last 32,000 years
Uranium-thorium dating offers the possibility of absolute age determination of cold-water corals (CWCs). We present here the complementary dataset to "Radiocarbon dating of... -

Survival of the deep-sea octocoral Dentomuricea aff. meteor from the Azores u...
Includes data estimate of survival. Survival, censored = 1 LastDayAlive refers to the last date that the larva was seen alive but death was not confirmed. Survival, censored = 0... -
Embryo development of the deep-sea octocoral Dentomuricea aff. meteor from th...
Includes data on the embryo development of the species. Embryos/larvae were monitored (counted) and classified to developmental stages every 3-4 hours until the planula stage... -
Habitat suitability maps for vulnerable and foundation cold-water coral taxa ...
We developed habitat suitability models for 14 vulnerable and foundation cold-water coral (CWC) taxa of the Azores (NE Atlantic) using GAM and MAXENT models. The modelled taxa... -
Embryo and larval biology of the deep-sea octocoral Dentomuricea aff. meteor ...
The study focuses on the early life stages of the species Dentomuricea aff. meteor, a common deep-sea octocoral in the Azores. The objective was to describe the embryo and... -
DeepIso - a global open database of stable isotope ratios and elemental conte...
The use of stable isotopes as ecological tracers in deep-sea ecosystems has a long history, dating back to the late 1970’s. Stable isotopes have been instrumental to many...
