Labile Organic Carbon distributions on the West Antarctic Peninsula Shelf

This data set is used to describe a new technique for assessing labile organic carbon (LOC) abundances and mean residence times in marine sediments. Radiocarbon is used to determine abundances of labile organic carbon and then a diagenetic organic carbon model, coupled with sediment biotrubation coe...

Description
Summary:This data set is used to describe a new technique for assessing labile organic carbon (LOC) abundances and mean residence times in marine sediments. Radiocarbon is used to determine abundances of labile organic carbon and then a diagenetic organic carbon model, coupled with sediment biotrubation coefficients, is used to assess LOC mean residence times.
