These data were generated as part of an NSF project titled "Collaborative Research: Arctic sensitivity to climate perturbations and a millennial perspective on current warming derived from shrinking ice caps." The project was designed to test hypotheses about feedbacks in the Arctic climate system based on patterns of Holocene ice cap fluctuations in western Greenland. The data described here relate to the following journal article: Schweinsberg, A.D., Briner, J.P., Miller, G.H., Bennike, O., and Thomas, E.K., 2017, Local glaciation in West Greenland linked to North Atlantic Ocean circulation during the Holocene. Geology, v. 45, no. 3, p. 195-198."
