210Pb-dated historical lake sediment metal concentrations from Greater Glasgow, Scotland (mid-19th century to 2016)

Measurements of sediment properties (including organic and carbonate content), radionuclides (210Pb, 137Cs, 241Am) and elements (including mercury, nickel, copper, zinc, and lead) in lake sediment successions. Radionuclide dating provides a reliable chronology of sediment ages from the mid-19th century (sometimes only 20th century) to the present (2016). The dataset comprises a standardised matrix of multiple measured sediment variables (element values per mass) against stratigraphic depth for 8 lakes. In some water bodies multiple core datasets exist.

对湖泊沉积物序列中沉积物特性（包括有机质和碳酸盐含量）、放射性核素（210Pb、137Cs、241Am）及元素（包括汞、镍、铜、锌和铅）的测量。放射性核素测年法为沉积物年代提供了从19世纪中叶（有时仅为20世纪）至现今（2016年）的可靠时间序列。该数据集包含8个湖泊的标准化矩阵，其中多个测量沉积变量（每质量单位元素值）对应地层深度。在某些水体中，存在多个核心数据集。
