The scientific work during cruise SO268 was part of the second phase of the MiningImpact project (Environmental impacts and risks of deep-sea mining) and is designed to assess the environmental impacts of deep-sea mining of polymetallic nodules in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) in the Pacific Ocean. After performing total acid digestions, the sediments were analyzed by isotope dilution using ICP-SF-MS (Element2, Thermo Scientific) for the determination of radionuclides at the Marine Geochemistry Lab, Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven.</description></descriptions><geoLocations><geoLocation><geoLocationBox><westBoundLongitude>-125.9245167</westBoundLongitude><eastBoundLongitude>-117.0123333</eastBoundLongitude><southBoundLatitude>11.84476667</southBoundLatitude><northBoundLatitude>14.13508333</northBoundLatitude></geoLocationBox></geoLocation></geoLocations><fundingReferences><fundingReference><funderName>Federal Ministry of Education and Research</funderName><funderIdentifier funderIdentifierType="Crossref Funder ID">https://doi.org/10.13039/501100002347</funderIdentifier><awardNumber awardURI="https://foerderportal.bund.de/foekat/jsp/SucheAction.do?actionMode=view&amp;fkz=03F0812F">03F0812F</awardNumber><awardTitle>JPI-O MiningImpact: Auswirkungen von Manganknollenbergbau auf biogeochemische Prozesse und die Ausbreitung von Stoffen in der Tiefsee</awardTitle></fundingReference></fundingReferences></resource>
