This dataset consists of measurements of cosmogenic 10Be in quartz from a set of erratic cobbles collected from the surfaces of nunataks in West Antarctica. The cobbles were collected during the 2019-20 Antarctic field season from the Hudson Mountains, which are situated adjacent to Pine Island Glacier. The dataset includes cosmogenic nuclide (10Be) exposure ages and all field (sample locations and elevations) and analytical laboratory (quartz and beryllium carrier masses, Be-10/Be-9 ratios) data for field samples and procedural blanks required to calculate the ages. Natural Environment Research Council (NERC: Grants NE/S006710/1, NE/S006753/1, and NE/S00663X/1) and National Science Foundation (NSF: Grant OPP 2317097). Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) Centre for Accelerator Science award AP12872, through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).

The dataset contains 12 new Be-10 cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure ages. The samples were collected from a scoria cone 1.5 km west of Mt. Murphy an exposed volcanic edifice adjacent to Pope Glacier in the Amundsen Sea Embayment, Antarctica. Samples of erratic cobbles which showed evidence of transport by ice were collected over the 2015-2016 AmuNdsen Sea Embayment Exposure Dating (ANISEED) Field Season, prepared at the CosmIC laboratory, Imperial College London and measured for Be-10 at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation. Beryllium-10 concentrations were measured by Accelerated Mass Spectrometry (AMS). Samples were measured to determine timing of deglaciation of two rock outcrops to better constrain the ice sheet lowering history of Pope Glacier during the Holocene. Study forms part of the wider International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration Project (ITGC). Samples were collected by Dr. Joanne Johnson and Dr. Stephen Roberts (British Antarctic Survey), supported by field assistants Alistair Docherty and Iain Rudkin. Sample preparation for 10Be measurement was carried out by Jonathan Adams - PhD candidate affiliated with British Antarctic Survey/ Imperial College London under the supervision of Dr. Dylan Rood - Imperial College London. AMS measurements of Beryllium-10 concentrations were performed by Dr. Klaus Wilcken - Australia's Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). National Science Foundation (NSF: Grant OPP-1738989) and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC: Grants NE/S006710/1, NE/S006753/1 and NE/K012088/1 and studentship to JRA). ITGC Contribution No. ITGC.

This dataset consists of measurements of cosmogenic 10Be in quartz from a set of 41 erratic cobbles and boulders collected from the surfaces of nunataks in West Antarctica. The erratics were collected during the 2019-20 Antarctic field season from the Hudson Mountains, which are situated immediately to the north of Pine Island Glacier. The samples in this dataset were collected from nunataks (Webber Nunatak, Mount Moses, Slusher Nunatak, Dean Nunataks, Wold Nunatak, and Siren Rock) located adjacent to Larter and Lucchitta glaciers which dissect the area. The dataset includes cosmogenic nuclide (10Be) exposure ages and all field (sample locations and elevations) and analytical laboratory (quartz and beryllium carrier masses, 10Be/9Be ratios) data for field samples and procedural blanks required to calculate the exposure ages. This project was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (NERC: Grants NE/S006710/1, NE/S006753/1, and NE/S00663X/1) and National Science Foundation (NSF: Grant OPP 2317097).

This dataset consists of measurements of cosmogenic Be-10 and Al-26 in quartz for a set of cobbles collected from a moraine proximal to Mount Murphy, a nunatak located between Pope and Thwaites glaciers, West Antarctica. The cobbles were collected during the 2015-2016 Antarctic field season. The dataset includes cosmogenic nuclide (Be-10 and Al-26) surface exposure ages and all field (location, elevation, shielding, thickness) and analytical laboratory (quartz, beryllium and aluminium carrier masses, Be-10/Be-9 and Al-26/Al-27 ratios) data for field samples and procedural blanks required to calculate the ages.

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.
