Abstract
This dataset contains the data and files from Santos 2017, Santos et al. 2018a, and Santos et al. 2018b. It is organized by chapters within the master’s thesis of Santos 2017, unless otherwise stated. The data from Santos et al. 2018a is predominantly within Chapter 1 files, including experimental data from the sea turtle decay and drifter release studies, as well as the raw results and other datafiles from the general 2001-2005 sea turtle carcass drift simulation model. The data from Santos et al. 2018b can be found mostly within the Chapter 2 files, including the raw results and other datafiles from the further developed sea turtle carcass drift simulation tool, and the comparisons of predicted mortality locations with anthropogenic causes. The supplement materials comparing the model results with the experimental drifter data from Santos et al. 2018b is also included in a separate subfolder. File types mostly include .xlsx, .doc, .nc, .R, .RDS, .shp and .csv files, all of which can be read by Rscript or Microsoft Office. Photos from the decay study are in .jpg format.
Detailed file inventory is available in the downloadable metatdata file.
