Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (brGDGT) data from Lake 578, Norse "Eastern Settlement" southern Greenland, 2016-2019
This dataset includes branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (brGDGT) fractional abundances from sediment core, surface sediments, settling particulate matter, and soils of Lake 578 (61.08 degrees North (° N), 45.61 degrees West (° W)), southern Greenland. BrGDGTs are lipids thought to be bio...

This dataset includes branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (brGDGT) fractional abundances from sediment core, surface sediments, settling particulate matter, and soils of Lake 578 (61.08 degrees North (° N), 45.61 degrees West (° W)), southern Greenland. BrGDGTs are lipids thought to be biosynthesized by anaerobic bacteria. These compounds are abundant in lake sediments and potentially can be used as proxies for evaluating past environmental conditions. To improve the application of the brGDGT paleothermometer in high latitudes, we examine brGDGTs distribution from Lake 578, located in southern Greenland. In July 2016, a 70 centimeter (cm) percussion core was collected from Lake 578, and the sediment trap system was deployed.
