This dataset includes Pb-210 activities, grain-size distributions, and x-radiograph negatives for cores collected primarily during NBP1603 (and also LMG1510) as part of the FjordEco project in Andvord Bay and surrounding areas (Gerlache Strait, and Station B on the shelf). Data are from subsampled intervals of kasten cores and box cores, as well as one megacore. Samples were x-rayed, sliced, and bagged onboard the vessel. Grain-size and Pb-210 analyses were completed in the Sediment Dynamics Lab within the University of Washington School of Oceanography (PI C. Nittrouer).
