To assess the pressures exerted by scientific research at the Lucky Strike vent field, we compiled a comprehensive inventory of all research activities conducted from 1992 to 2024. These activities included sampling, in situ measurements, mooring deployments, submersible dives, and litter deposition on the seafloor. The type of sampling activities was identified (i.e., biological, rock, sediment, fluid) to evaluate their respective pressures. Litter assessments focused primarily on metallic deadweights, which are currently needed for submersible operations and mooring deployments. These include shuttles —a container deployed to facilitate instrumentation deployment/recovery and sample storage during dives— as well as instrumentation platforms such as the Seamon monitoring nodes, moorings and surface buoy. A census allowed an exhautive list of all available samples, moorings, submersible navigations and litter deposited on the seafloor. In addition, an interactive map allow the visualisation of all these activites, enabling filtration upon the year and type of activity. Rasters for all these activities are also made available (TIF) to be able to import these in GIS projects. In addition, R scripts are joined to analyse these data and compute an Integrated Research Pressure Index (IRPI) and the resulting database is made available in the repository. Temporal and spatial evolution analysis of the IRPI is also available in the scripts. A bibliometric database compiling all publications related to Lucky Strike until 2023 is also available along with a R script to analyse the temporal evolution of publications related to research efforts (IRPI).
