Geochemical data (clay mineral, XRF-scanner and biomarker data) for core LC12 sediment record from Blaso, a large, epishelf lake in NW Greenland collected July-August 2017
The dataset comprises multi-proxy analyses of sediment core, LC12, extracted from Blaso, a large epishelf lake on the margin of 79 degree N Ice Shelf, NW Greenland in July-August 2017. The data are used to constrain ice shelf dynamics over the last ~8500 calibrated years before present (cal. years B.P., where present is A.D. 1950).
A 2 m-long sediment core was recovered with a UWITEC KOL ''Kolbenlot'' percussion piston corer to a total sediment depth of 5.24.
Core LC12: 90 m water depth; 79.5948 degrees N, 22.44233 degrees E.
Geochemical data for the LC12 sediment records consists of clay mineral, XRF-scanner and biomarker data.
This project was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) through Standard Grant NE/N011228/1. We thank the Alfred Wegner Institute, and particularly Angelika Humbert and Hicham Rafiq, for their significant logistic support through the iGRIFF project. Additional support was provided from Station Nord (Jorgen Skafte), Nordland Air, Air Greenland and the Joint Arctic Command. Naalakkersuisut, Government of Greenland, provided Scientific Survey (VU-00121) and Export (046/2017) licences for this work.
