Summary
This data release contains time-series of seawater carbonate chemistry variables, including salinity, dissolved inorganic nutrients, pH, total alkalinity, and dissolved inorganic carbon from sites along Kahekili Beach Park, west Maui, Hawai‘i. It also containsdata from coral cores collected from the shallow reef at Kahekili in July 2013 and analyzed for coral growth parameters (tissue thickness, growth rate, density, calcification rates, and bioerosion) and geochemical measurements (nitrogen isotopes).
