Diatoms, Grain Size, Magnetic Susceptibility, and Cesium and Lead Isotopes from Short HAPS Cores Collected on the Bering Sea Shelf
Regime shift in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and changes in the intensity of the Aleutian Low have manifest significant impacts on the Bering Sea ecosystem from commercially important fisheries to phytoplankton. This leads us to examine Bering Sea shelf sediments in an effort to determine i...

Regime shift in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and changes in the intensity of the Aleutian Low have manifest significant impacts on the Bering Sea ecosystem from commercially important fisheries to phytoplankton. This leads us to examine Bering Sea shelf sediments in an effort to determine if recent environmental changes are recorded in the sediments deposited over the past half a century. Samples were collected on board the USCGC Healy Icebreaker during May 2006 and June 2007. Haps cores were collected and subsampled either by slicing the sediments at 1 cm intervals or by pushing a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe into the center of the Haps core. The data set archived here contains diatom counts, detailed grain size analysis, magnetic susceptibility, and x-radiographs for a suite of short cores.
