Sedimentological data (foraminifera, wet bulk density and magnetic susceptibility) for core LC7 sediment record from Blaso, a large, epishelf lake in NW Greenland collected July-August 2017

The dataset comprises multi-proxy analyses of a sediment core (LC7) extracted from Blaso, a large epishelf lake on the margin of 79 ° N Ice Shelf, NW Greenland in July-August 2017. The data are used to constrain ice shelf dynamics over the last 8500 calibrated years before present (cal. years B.P., where present is A.D. 1950). A 2 m-long sediment core was recovered with a UWITEC KOL 'Kolbenlot' percussion piston corer to a total sediment depth of 3.74 m. Core LC7: 87 m water depth; 79.589 ° N, 22.494 ° E. Sedimentological data for the LC7 sediment record consists of physical properties (magnetic susceptibility, wet bulk density) and foraminifera data.
