Carbon content and radioisotope data from sampling conducted at the Compass Station in Bedford Basin, Nova Scotia, Canada from February to August 2019

These data include carbon content and radioisotope (234Th-excess) data collected at the Compass Station in Bedford Basin, Nova Scotia, Canada at four time periods from February to August 2019. A four-core multicorer was used to obtain the cores and samples were analyzed via beta counting (234Th) and CHN analysis (carbon content). These data were collected in conjunction with water column samples that were measured for total 234Th, particulate 234Th, and particulate carbon to assess carbon export and the carbon budget of Bedford Basin.
