Biomarker and radiocarbon data of core ARA04C/37 and JPC15 from the Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean

These data have been obtained on two cores ARA04C/37 (70°38.0212'N, 139°22.0749'W; 1173 m) and JPC15 (71°06.222'N, 135°08.129'W; 690 m). The datasets contain thermal maturity proxies, specifically of Carbon Preference Index (CPI), fractional abundance of homohopane isomer C31ββR,...

Description
Summary:These data have been obtained on two cores ARA04C/37 (70°38.0212'N, 139°22.0749'W; 1173 m) and JPC15 (71°06.222'N, 135°08.129'W; 690 m). The datasets contain thermal maturity proxies, specifically of Carbon Preference Index (CPI), fractional abundance of homohopane isomer C31ββR, and Tmax, and OI, HI from the Rock-Eval pyrolysis. Additionally, compound-specific radiocarbon concentrations of bulk organic carbon and long-chain n-alkanoic acids with 26 and 28 carbon atoms have been measured and expressed as F14C with a 1 sigma uncertainty, and counts of Pediastrum spp. An additional dataset contains carbon cycle model simulations using the box model BICYCLE to describe the effect of CO2 release from deglacial terrestrial organic carbon release.
