Summary
Results are presented from Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) carbon-14 radiocarbon dating of carbonate rock samples collected from seep fields offshore the U.S. Mid- and South Atlantic in 2018 and 2019. Samples were collected as a fingerprint to past hydrocarbon seep activity, fluid source, and depositional environment.

Samples were collected as a fingerprint to past hydrocarbon seep activity, fluid source, and depositional environment.
These samples were collected as part of the Deep Sea Exploration to Advance Research on Coral/Canyon/Cold seep Habitats (DEEP SEARCH) study, a multiyear, multi-agency campaign to characterize the deep-sea ecosystems to better understand the distribution of sensitive seafloor communities to inform potential offshore energy development and other deep-sea management.
