Complementary Geochemical, mineralogical and microbiological analyses of materials collected on the Greenland Ice Sheet
This dataset comprises of geochemical, mineralogical and microbiological analyses of material collected on the southwestern margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet in 2016 and 2017. Stream water, melted ice and snow samples were collected and analysed for carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, cation and anion concentrations, pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), mineral phase and class abundances and Rare Earth Elements (REE). Microbial community composition was also analysed. In addition, the results of a nutrient incubation experiment are also presented.The data were collected as part of a project investigating drivers of glacial ice algal growth on the Greenland Ice Sheet.

- Statement
- No data were excluded from the study. Reproducibility in the data was verified by collecting and analysing as many samples as was possible given the time and space constraints of remote fieldwork. This study characterized heterogeneous naturally occurring samples and therefore randomisation was not required.
