This dataset focuses on the geochemical analysis of the water column, sediment pore fluids, and bulk sediments from flooded caves, open-water cave entry pools (or cenotes), and associated marine waters. The water column and pore water measurements include the following dissolved components: anions (sulfate and chloride), nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and silicate-based), organic carbon, inorganic carbon, methane, and carbon dioxide. All species were analyzed for concentrations, and the carbon species measurements additionally include stable carbon isotope ratios. The bulk sediment measurements include the weight percent of total organic carbon, calcium carbonate, and total nitrogen, and additionally the stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios of the total organic carbon and total nitrogen. The dataset includes a description of the geographic region, the sampled cave system, the cave entry location, and the sampling station with the cave (if available). For each sample, the associated water mass (fresh, brackish, or saline groundwater, or seawater) and habitat (open water, cenote, cavern, cave, or sea) are provided. The dataset also includes endmembers from surface waters proximal to each cave system and the coastline.   The project is a collaboration between the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Texas A&M University at San Antonio, Campus Yucatan of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Primary funding was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) with additional support provided by the U.S. Geological Survey.
