This dataset comprises data from a series of peat cores extracted from Site KER1, Kerguelen Island. Data includes: 1 mm-scale (contiguous) spectra count per second (cps) chemical element data from composite downcore X-ray Fluorescence Core Scan (XRF-CS) geochemical data, ~1 cm-scale (interval) Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) geochemical and subsample data, 5 mm-scale (interval) Multi Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) data, and sedimentological parameters. The data set was used in conjunction with other peat core records from five sites on four sub-Antarctic Islands for calibration of XRF-CS to ICPMS to quantify high resolution XRF-CS to enable dust flux calculations at high resolution. This research was funded by NERC Standard Grant NE/K004514/1 (DAH, SJR). Field programmes were supported by the British Antarctic Survey (CASS126, Bird Island), NERC (Late Quaternary changes in the Westerly Winds over the Southern Ocean NERC PhD 1772184), Instituto Antartico Chileno (Isla Hermite), South African National Antarctic Program (Marion Island), and the Swiss Polar Institute, Antarctic Circumpolar Expedition (ACE09, Marion Island, Iles Kerguelen). The NERC/SUERC AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry) Radiocarbon Facility, the LMC-14 staff (Laboratoire de Mesure du Carbone 14, Paris Saclay) and the ARTEMIS national instrument (LSCE, CNRS-CEA-UVSQ-IRD-IRSN-MC) provided some of the radiocarbon dates.
