Description
Summary:This data set includes grain size analyses and SST reconstructions from core AXC1432 in Nørre Skjoldungensund, SE-Greenland. Furthermore it contains water temperatures calculated from mesurements from https://www.ICES.dk and from the HadISST dataset. Heat transport via ocean currents can affect the melting of marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland. Studying past changes of marine-terminating glaciers allows assessing the regional sensitivity of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) to ocean temperature changes in the context of a warming ocean. Here, we present a high-resolution multi-proxy marine sediment core study from Skjoldungen Fjord, close to the marine-terminating Thrym Glacier. Grain-size data is obtained to reconstruct the calving activity of Thrym Glacier, sortable silt is used as a proxy for fjord water circulation and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are reconstructed from alkenone paleothermometry (Uk'37). Measurements of 210Pb, 137Cs and 14C indicate that the core covers the past 220 years (1796 CE ... : Supplement to: Wangner, David Johannes; Sicre, Marie-Alexandrine; Kjeldsen, Kristian Kjellerup; Jaeger, John M; Bjørk, Anders Anker; Vermassen, Flor; Sha, Longbin; Kjær, Kurt Henrik; Klein, Vincent; Andresen, Camilla S (2019): Sea surface temperature variability on the SE‐Greenland shelf (1796‐2013 CE) and its influence on Thrym Glacier in Nørre Skjoldungesund.
