Core PS2757-8 was taken with a Kastenlot corer (KAL) on the Lomonosov Ridge next to the Russian continental shelf during the Polarstern expedition ARK-XI/1 in 1995. This expedition had the principal aim to study material fluxes and ecological connections between the Arctic Deep Basins and the adjacent Siberian shelf seas, the northern Laptev Sea and the northeastern Kara Sea. In 2018 and 2019, the core had samples analyzed by MC-ICPMS at the Geotop-UQAM laboratories for uranium-series isotopes with the aim to establish radiochronological age constraints for the coring locations.
