Radiocarbon Dates and Pollen Data, Peterson Erosional Remnant, Arctic Coastal
Plain, Alaska
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS136

Summary
This data set consists of pollen data and radiocarbon (14C) dates resulting
from microscopic analysis and mass spectrometry of soil cores taken from the
Peterson Erosional Remnant, located on the Arctic Coastal Plain near Barrow,
Alaska. Data are contained in four files, and include raw pollen counts listed
by depth; counts for each coded pollen or microfossil type for each depth; the
percent of each pollen or microfossil type by depth; radiocarbon (14C) dates
expressed in calibrated years BP; and a pollen dictionary of codes used and
Latin pollen/microfossil names. Data are in ASCII format. These data are part
of a study of paleoenvironment, processes, and carbon stocks of thaw-lake
basins on the Arctic Coastal Plain. The Peterson Erosional Remnant is a
"non-basin" site that can be used to determine the overall age of the
landscape in which thaw lakes have formed and drained.
