The dataset includes up to 723 observations (including field replicates) per sediment parameter, reflecting 93 unique sampling locations, with each location having been sampled from 1 to 29 times (excluding field replicates) over this 10-year period. There were four spatially intensive field campaigns conducted (February\u2013March 2013, May 2013, October\u2013November 2014, and January\u2013March 2015), during which at least 90 sites were sampled. A sub-set of 13 sites were sampled intensively (20\u201329 times, primarily during 2015\u20132017, and 2019) to create a more detailed monthly time-series at these locations. Sampling was conducted over a range of hydrologic conditions, from periods when the basin was essentially dry (no overlying water, even in \u2018open-water\u2019 habitats) to periods when the basin was nearly fully flooded (most sites with overlying water). \nAnalyses in this dataset include: bulk sediment: total mercury, methyl mercury, reactive mercury(ll), iron speciation, total reduced sulfur, loss on ignition, dry weight, bulk density, porosity, grain-size (sieved), grain size distribution; pore water: total mercury, methyl mercury, dissolved organic carbon, sulfate, chloride, sulfide, and isotopic delta 34-S of sulfate.\nThis data release is a revision, which includes six data tables given both as excel (*.xlsx) and machine readable (comma-separated values, *.csv) format: 1) \u2018T1_CCSB_SED_data_dictionary _ver2.0\u2019, the Data Dictionary, which provides definitions and details related to the other five data tables and includes citations of analytical methods; 2) \u2018T2_CCSB_SED_ver2.0\u2019, the primary dataset with spatial/temporal sediment and pore water analyses; 3) \u2018T3_CCSB_SED_seq_extr\u2019, a sub-set of sediment samples (33 sites collected during May 2013) assayed for Hg using a 5-fraction sequential extraction procedure; 4) \u2018T4_CCSB_SED_grain_size_ver2.0\u2019, data on detailed sediment grain-size distribution (by laser-scattering) for 630 unique samples (plus n=67 field duplicates); 5) \u2018T5_CCSB_SED_size_frac\u2019, a sub-set of sediment samples (33 sites collected during May 2013) size-fractioned into 5 size classes and assayed for total mercury and limited suite of parameters, including particulate surface area (15 of the 33 sites); and 6) \u2018T6_CCSB_SED_QA_ver2.0\u2019, quality assurance data summary.
