Geochemical composition (corrected) of the Late Holocene sediments core LV66-3 (Amur Bay of the Sea of Japan) and result of paleoclimatic reconstructions

Sediment core LV66-3 (43°07,473' N,131°49,622' E length of 466 cm; water depth 33 m) was collected in 2014 during the 66th cruise of the R/V Akademik M.A. Lavrentiev in the Amur Bay of the Sea of Japan using a gravity core. The sampling location was chosen in the zone of maximum bottom water hypoxia (Tishchenko et al., 2011), which ensured minimal bioturbation of sediments due to oppression of benthic fauna. Continuous seismic profiling data at this site revealed a homogeneous structure of the sedimentary strata, with no visible breaks in sedimentation and no inclusions of sediments of a different composition (Karnaukh et al., 2016).
