In September 2009, a series of sediment cores were collected across the Alaskan Beaufort Sea shelf-slope. Sediment and porewater organic carbon (OC) concentrations and stable carbon isotope ratios (δ 13 C) were measured to investigate spatial variations in sediment organic matter (OM) sources and di...
