Abstract:

This data set includes data on late Quaternary marine diamictons and muds. Data sets include (1) major and trace element geochemistry, and (2) diatom data in several formats Geochemistry: 1. Major and trace elements (ICP-AES, ICP-MS) from Ross Sea sediment 2. 10-Be concentration in Ross Sea and Ross Embayment sediment, sub ice stream sediment and glacial ice Diatoms: 1. Diatom counts from Ross Sea and Ross Embayment sediment cores (Sjunneskog and Scherer, 2004) a. diatom species counts b. diatom absolute abundance data (valves per gram dried sediment) c. abundance of diatom fragments 2. Diatom abundance and fragmentation patterns resulting from controlled compaction and internal shearing (Scherer, Sjunneskog, Iverson, Hooyer, 2004a; 2004b) Sjunneskog, C.S., and SCHERER, R.P., 2004. Mixed diatom assemblages in Ross Sea (Antarctica) glacigenic facies. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, in press. SCHERER, R.P., Sjunneskog, C.M., Iverson, N., and Hooyer, T., 2004. Frustules to fragments, diatoms to dust: how degradation of microfossil micro and nanostructures can teach us how ice sheets work. Journal of Nanotechnology and Nanoscience, (in press).
