High resolution age model from sedimentary collected along the southwestern Svalbard margin

DOI

This dataset includes updated versions of high-resolution age models derived from six sedimentary cores collected from the southwestern Svalbard margin. The dataset presented here represents a refinement of a previous version (Caricchi et al., 2020; 2022), achieved through correlation of the stratigraphic trends of the ARM/k parameter with the GICC05modelext timescale and the NGRIP record (Rasmussen et al., 2014). Additional refinement was obtained from newly acquired and recalibrated radiometric data, as well as from improved lithological constraints. The dataset enables the calculation of sedimentation rates during glacial and interglacial periods and during short-lived, widespread meltwater pulses and Heinrich-like events, thereby allowing the reconstruction of ice-sheet instability and meltwater events along the Svalbard–Barents Sea margin over the last 60,000 years.
