Paleoecological and paleoenvironmental proxy data from four lakes on the North Slope, Alaska (around Toolik Lake)

The data sets are measurements of sediment cores from four lakes, Toolik Lake, Lake 5, Upper Capsule, and Fog 2 on the North Slope of Alaska. These include age models based on radiocarbon, Pb-210, Cs-137, sediment property scans (magnetic susceptibility, color spectra, XRF measurements of elemental...

Description
Summary:The data sets are measurements of sediment cores from four lakes, Toolik Lake, Lake 5, Upper Capsule, and Fog 2 on the North Slope of Alaska. These include age models based on radiocarbon, Pb-210, Cs-137, sediment property scans (magnetic susceptibility, color spectra, XRF measurements of elemental abundances), organic geochemical proxies (alkenone concentrations and paleoclimate proxy measurements, branched tetraether lipids and index calculations, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, hydrogen and carbon isotopic values of plant leaf waxes and short chain fatty acids, sterol concentrations), diatom assemblage counts, charcoal counts. The purpose of the dataset is to report the results from NSF grant support 1503846.
