Description
Summary:Prins Karls Foreland is a small and elongated island on the western flank of the Svalbard archipelago. It belongs to the system of complex host and graben structures of the West-Spitsbergen fold-and-thrust belt. Intense gas flaring and oil slicks have been observed at this site. Within the scope of the research cruise AKMA 1 (CAGE21-1) under the helm of the Norwegian Centre of Excellence for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate at the UiT The Arctic University of Norway, superstation 1 was investigated to understand the effects of gas hydrates and methane seepage systems on our oceans and ecosystems. The dataset includes a list of sediment and carbonate samples collected during CAGE21-1 at Superstation 1 (Prins Karls Foreland) and results for carbon and nitrogen isotopes, dissolved inorgani carbon isotopes, headspace gas, grain size, methane isotopes and foraminifera stable isotope analysis including photomosaics. ...
