Summary: | The dataset comprises of chronostratigraphic data from the Fildes Peninsula, King George Island, South Shetland Islands. The data have been used to constrain deglaciation and climate-glacier dynamics on the Fildes Peninsula. These data include C-14 density probability phases. Data was compiled with with Potter Peninsula and King George Island data and a non-parametric phase model applied. Data collected in this study were funded by: Centro de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Tierra (CICTERRA), the Direccion Nacional del Antartico/Instituto Antartico Argentino (DNA/IAA) in the framework of the Project PICTA, 2011 - 0102, IAA 'Geomorfologia y Geologia Glaciar del Archipielago James Ross e Islas Shetland del Sur, Sector Norte de la Peninsula Antartica'; the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) research program Polar regions and Coasts in a changing Earth System (PACES II); IMCONet (FP7 IRSES, action no. 318718); the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC/BAS-CGS Grant no.81); the NERC/BAS science programmes ... : Compilations of new and published age data constraining glacier advance, retreat and aquatic moss layers in lakes from the South Shetland Islands. New and published chronostratigraphic data constraining Holocene glacier readvances from the Fildes Peninsula (n=43), Potter Peninsula (n=29), and KGI (n=76) were compiled and a non-parametric phase model (i.e., a probabilistic version of the Oxcal SUM command) was applied to each dataset using the Bchron v. 4.7.6 in R (Haslett and Parnell, 2008; Parnell, 2021).The Rcarbon package v. 1.4.2 (Bevan, 2021) was used for data analysis. Additional statistical analysis was undertaken, using R v. 4.1.0/RStudio v. 1.4.1717 (primarily packages Tidyverse, ggplot2, Vegan, Rioja, Ggally v. 2.1.2, RBacon, Rcarbon, Bchron), Sigmaplot v. 14.0, C2 (Juggins, 2007) and MATLAB v. R2021a. Code, data, all packages used, and package references, can be found at: https://github.com/stever60/Fildes_Peninsula and https://github.com/stever60/Potter_Peninsula. The data were used in data ... |
