The melting of marine terminating glaciers in Northeast Greenland is a visible sign that our climate is changing. This melt has been partly attributed to changes in oceanic heat fluxes, particularly warming of Atlantic Water (AW). Yet our understanding of the interaction between glaciers and the ocean is limited by the length of instrumental records. The multi-proxy dataset presented in this study is derived from Gravity Core DA17-NG-ST08-092G collected in September 2017 on-board the research vessel DANA as part of the NorthGreen2017 expedition. The 585 cm long core was collected at 583 m water depth on the NEG continental shelf. The new high resolution data presented here (benthic foraminifera, grain size, XRF, stable isotopes) provide an overview of ocean circulation patterns, as well as glacial extent on the Northeast Greenland continental shelf during the Holocene. ...
