This publication contains tools for statistical evaluation and exploration of data published by Radosavljevic et al. (2016). These data contain bulk geochemistry data (total organic carbon, nitrogen, stable carbon isotope) and granulometry of nearshore samples in the vicinity of Herschel Island, Yukon, Canadian Beaufort Sea. In addition, the functions of the script herein provide a means for summaries and comparison with terrestrial (Couture, 2010; Tanski et al., 2017; Obu et al., 2016) and marine (a subset of Naidu et al., 2000) data. The tools are contained in a script written for the R software environment for statistical computing and graphics. The script (sediments_geochemistry_plots_and_summaries.r) is richly documented and explains the functionality. Each data file also contains a description of the data in a comma separated file (csv).
