The dataset contains compound-specific δ13C and Δ14C isotopic composition of alkanoic acids from permafrost soils and river and fjord sediments the Bayelva catchment and Kongsfjord. These were analyzed in order to determine permafrost OC turnover timescales in the Bayelva catchment, assess export me...
