Small loop surface nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data collected at the Midtre Lovénbreen glacial forefield near Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard in July 2021

### Overview

This data release includes surface nuclear magnetic resonance (sNMR) data collected as part of the SUN-SPEARS project. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation (Award number 2015329) and is concerned with studying soil evolution in high Arctic environments post glacial retreat. Within SUN-SPEARS, data are collected on a chronosequence from very recently deglaciated to older locations which have been exposed for decades to centuries. In this data release, sNMR data from two sites are included: site 1 which was collected approximately 15 meters (m) from the snout of the glacier, and site 2 which was located approximately 1000 m from the snout of the glacier, Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates are included for more precise locations.
