Abstract:
The datafile presents total mercury concentrations (THg, given in µg/kg) of all subsamples (n=39) of sedimentary short core EN18232-1. All measurements were carried out at the Permafrost Carbon and Nitrogen Lab (CarLa) at AWI Potsdam. Mercury concentrations were measured with a MLS-MWS DMA-80 evo III. The machine detection limit was 0.003 ng, with a laboratory proven limit of determination of 0.4 ng. Furthermore, we provide mercury fluxes (HgAr, µg/m²/a) according to the method described in detail in Biskaborn et al. (2023) using the equations in the Comment section below. The sedimentation rates (SR in cm/a) were calculated following Pfalz et al. (2022), whereby xi is the sample depth of interest and xi-1 its previous layer. We used the mean ages of the age-depth-model results of the shortcore EN18232-1. This is followed by the mass accumulation rate (MAR in g/cm²/a), where we used the mean value of the dry bulk density (DBD in g/cm³) of the short core EN18232-1. Consequently, we calculated the mercury accumulation rates HgAr in µg/m²/a.

Comment:
Equations for mercury flux calculation:
SR(xi) = (depth(xi) - depth(xi-1)) / (age(xi) - age(xi-1))
MAR = DBD * SR
HgAr = Hg * MAR * 10
