| Summary: | This dataset supports a broader study examining climatic forcing of terrestrial greenhouse gas emission through permafrost and glaciers in Svalbard. The dataset provides geochemistry and organic matter characterization data generated from surface water and sediment. Samples were collected from 8 spatially diverse sites across central Svalbard and also from a more comprehensive temporal and spatial study within one glacial catchment area throughout one summer melt season. Related data were collected and will be published separately in collaboration with Yde and Kleber. This dataset is comprised of one main data folder containing (1) file-level metadata; (2) data dictionary; (3) field metadata; (4) non-purgeable organic carbon (NPOC); (5) surface water sampling protocol; (6) sediment extraction protocol; (7) readme; (8) methods codes; (9) international geo-sample number (IGSN) mapping file; and (10) folder of high resolution characterization of organic matter via 12 Tesla Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS) generated through the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL; https://www.pnnl.gov/environmental-molecular-sciences-laboratory). The FTICR folder contains two subfolders, one containing the .xml data files and the other containing instructions for using Formularity (https://omics.pnl.gov/software/formularity) and an R script to process the data based on the user's specific needs. All files are .csv, .pdf, .R, .ref, or .xml.
