Major oxide, trace element, and strontium, neodymium, and lead isotopic compositions of rocks and sediments from western Greenland, 2013

These data consist of major oxide, trace element and strontium (Sr), neodymium (Nd), and lead (Pb) isotopic compositions of bedload sediments, suspended sediments, moraine sediments, and rocks collected from five locations in western Greenland. The locations extend in a 170-km transect from the coas...

Description
Summary:These data consist of major oxide, trace element and strontium (Sr), neodymium (Nd), and lead (Pb) isotopic compositions of bedload sediments, suspended sediments, moraine sediments, and rocks collected from five locations in western Greenland. The locations extend in a 170-km transect from the coast near the town of Sisimiut to the ice sheet near the town of Kangerlussuaq. The sites contain a total of seven distinct watersheds. Six watersheds are disconnected from the ice sheet by hydrologic divides and the seventh watershed drains primarily ice sheet meltwater. All samples were collected during the summer melt season 2013.
