Abstract:
This dataset contains laser diffraction grain-size distributions from five Late Glacial to present sediment cores recovered from the northern shore of Schweriner See (See = Lake, NE Germany). The cores (3.0–4.6 m long, 5 cm diameter) were collected using a percussion coring system from different geomorphological positions, including beach ridges, a lake terrace, and the base of a shore slope. One core (Döpe19/1) was obtained from the northeastern shore of Schweriner Außensee in the Döpe area, while four cores (HoVie05–HoVie08) were recovered from the Hohen Viecheln area in the north shore of Schweriner Außensee. Sediment cores were subsampled at 2 cm resolution, and grain-size measurements were performed using a Fritsch Laser Particle Sizer Analysette 22 MicroTec plus (0.08–2000 μm) following removal of organic matter and carbonates and ultrasonic dispersion.
