Palaeooceanographic and palaeoglaciological data from gravity cores collected from the Northeast Greenland continental shelf (Outer Norske Trough), September 2016

Two gravity cores (PS100-144GC and PS100-146GC) were collected from the Norske Trough on the outer continental shelf of NE Greenland. The sediment cores were collected during cruise PS100 of the RV Polarstern to NE Greenland in 2016 to investigate the ice-ocean interactions of The Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) during early deglaciation (~21-10 ka BP). The following parameters were measured: GEOTEK Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL, Durham University, DU); Shear Strength measurements (DU) foraminiferal faunal analysis (PS100-144GC only, DU) and stable isotopes (oxygen and carbon, measured at the NERC National Environmental Isotope Facility PS100-144GC only).
