| Summary: | This dataset merges data from the yedoma domain in Northern Siberia (RU) and Alaska (US). It includes numerous fieldwork campaigns, which take place since 1998 . In total 224 samples from drained Thermokarst, basins and 736 Yedoma samples are included from 27 sites (17 Siberia, 10 Alaska).The laboratory methods are the following: Total organic carbon (TOC) samples were measured with a carbon-nitrogen-sulphur analyser (Elementar Vario EL III) or a TOC analyser (Elementar Vario Max C).For ice content measurement needed for bulk density calculation (bulkdens), samples were weighed in wet and ovendry state during field expeditions or dried in the lab using a freeze dryer. BD was then calculated using its inverse relationship with porosity (see Strauss et al 2013 for details)). Because pore volume is assumed to be ice saturated, the pore volume can be directly inferred from the segregated ice content. Ice content was determined by dying in the file already or with an freeze dryer in the lab.14C dates were ... |
