NGHP-01 Site 19 (Mahanadi Basin, Bay of Bengal) multi-proxy paleoenvironmental record since 110 ka

In this dataset we include carbon and nitrogen elemental and isotopic (TOC, TN, CaCO3, d13C-TOC, d15N-TN), biogenic silica, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), grain size, physical property core logs, benthic foraminifer O and C isotopes, planktic foraminifer radiocarbon ages, and mass accumulation rate data from India National Gas Hydrate Program Expedition 01 Hole 19B. Hole 19B is located in the Mahanadi Basin ~70 km off the eastern Indian Margin in 1422 m water depth (18° 58.65680' N, 85° 39.52020' E). These data are from the upper 12 m below seafloor, corresponding to the last 110 kyr.
