Physical and geochemical data from five sediment cores collected offshore Thwaites Glacier

This dataset contains measurements from grain-size, x-ray fluorescence (XRF), and physical properties (including magnetic susceptibility, water content, and shear strength) analyses of five sediment cores collected offshore Thwaites Glacier during cruises NBP19-02 (cores KC04, KC08, and KC23) and NB...

Description
Summary:This dataset contains measurements from grain-size, x-ray fluorescence (XRF), and physical properties (including magnetic susceptibility, water content, and shear strength) analyses of five sediment cores collected offshore Thwaites Glacier during cruises NBP19-02 (cores KC04, KC08, and KC23) and NBP20-02 (cores KC33 and KC67). We estimate the cores, which are between 213.5 and 297.5 cm in length, reflect deposition during the last ~10 kyr, consistent with published constraints of deglaciation of this region. Data are organized in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and core locations are provided in a PDF.
