restricted

Other constraints

The dataset has been formally approved by BGS for access by external clients under a BGS Digital Data Licence, issued via BGS's IPR Section. The dataset must not be provided to, or be accessible by, an external client until the IPR Section confirms that signed licence documentation is in place. Refer to the IPR Section (DigitalLE@bgs.ac.) if further advice is required.. Constraint applies until 2026-02-15

Other constraints

Either: (i) the dataset is made freely available, e.g. via the Internet, for a restricted category of use (e.g. educational use only); or (ii) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under licence, but its use may be permitted under alternative formal arrangements; or (iii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted in order to determine the permitted usage of the dataset. Refer to the BGS staff member responsible for the creation of the dataset if further advice is required. He / she should be familiar with the composition of the dataset, particularly with regard to 3rd party IPR contained in it, and any resultant use restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section (ipr@bgs.ac.uk ) for advice, should the position not be clear.

Statement

A total of 91 monoliths (short-cores) were recovered from four study regions (Svalbard, Lapland, Salluit, Pond Inlet-Bylot) across 14 sites. In addition, one long core was taken from each site, except Kissuujaaluk Low and Angela’s Paradise. Each core was subsampled at 1 cm intervals and analysed for moisture content (%), dry bulk density (g cm-3), C/N content (%), 210Pb activity levels (bq/kg). Short-cores were radiocarbon dated at the base of the peat sequence, determined to be the deepest layer with a C content of ? 25 % and a dry bulk density ? 0.25 g cm-3. Long-cores were dated at the peat base and at regular intervals through the cores to develop a robust core chronology. Radiocarbon analysis was carried out at the Chrono14 centre, Queens University Belfast (n= 101), and University of Ottawa, Canada (n=37, Svalbard samples).
