Iron Oxide and Organic Matter Data for Marine Carbon Preservation

Raw data supports a preprint investigating how natural organic matter coatings alter the function of iron oxides in preserving carbon within marine sediments. The dataset was authored by Yunru Chen and posted on EarthArXiv in April 2026. It is hosted on the figshare platform under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze relationships between iron oxide concentrations and organic carbon content in sediment samples.
• Model the impact of organic matter coating metrics on carbon preservation rates.
• Validate geochemical hypotheses about mineral-organic interactions using experimental or field measurement data.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific, peer-reviewed preprint on EarthArXiv.
• Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Specific data volume, structure, and column names are unknown.
• The dataset's collection methodology and sample size are not detailed.
