Statement

The dataset contains results from experiments and sediment core analyses from Kangerlussuaq in West Greenland. A leaching experiment where dust was added to different types of water to compare with a control where no dust was added. The leaching experiment was conducted in Greenland and the chemical composition of the leachates from the treatments was sampled at various time intervals and analysed by ICP-MS at the British Geological Survey laboratories. A second field experiment was conducted in three lakes in Greenland, applying dust to mesocosm enclosures to compare against a control with no dust. Water chemistry was measured at the start and end of the experiment in the field or in the laboratory at Kangerlussuaq International Science Support. Algae from the water and lake bottom was also measured at the University of Nottingham using HPLC pigment analysis. Sediment cores were sampled from six lakes in Greenland in 2017, and sections downcore were analysed for chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments using HPLC at the University of Nottingham.
