Abstract:
In July 2022 within the framework of an Alfred-Wegener-Institute-managed expedition and the Nunataryuk project, sediment core YC22_MR_7 was taken off the coast of Herschel Island, Canada, using a hand corer. Data sets were obtained to investigate carbon feedback from the sediments to the water column and atmosphere, using DIC concentrations and isotopic values. The local sediments are supplied primarily by organic carbon previously stored in adjacent permafrost soils (biomarker and bulk data), which erode and redeposit quickly (age model) on the ocean floor.
The acquired data includes:
1) Sediment data: Bulk total organic carbon content (Lamping et al., 2021) and its isotopic values for 13C (Brodie et al., 2011; Werner & Brand, 2001) and 14C (Mollenhauer et al., 2021).
2) Biomarker data: Quantifying alkanes (CPI) , and fatty acids (TAR ratio) as described by Wei et al. (2020), Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs basis for BIT-Index) after Hopmans et al. (2016), Hopanes (fßß) following instructions by Meyer et al., (2019), and Sterols (Dinosterol) after Dauner et al. (2022).
