Seismic profiles, diatom and microfossil assemblages, and radiocarbon ages for constructing a post-glacial sea level curve from Fiordland, New Zealand

Two research cruises (12PL027 and 13PL018) were conducted aboard the University of Otago RV Polaris II in 2012 and 2013 to collect marine sediment cores and 2d seismic data as part of a collaborative research effort to study late-Pleistocene and Holocene environmental change in New Zealand. Data includes 4 Boomer seismic profiles, 4 CHIRP seismic profiles, seismic line GPS tracks, diatom assemblages (raw counts and relative abundances) and microfossil assemblages (raw counts and relative abundances), and radiocarbon ages from 4 marine sediment cores. The data used to construct a post-glacial sea level curve for Fiordland, New Zealand are also included, as well as data from published literature plotted for global comparisons. These data accompany the publication: Dlabola. E.K., Wilson, G.S., Gorman, A.R., Riesselman, C.R., and Moy, C.M. 2015. A post-glacial sea-level curve from Fiordland, New Zealand.
