New and compiled palaeomagnetic data from western Ross Sea (Antarctica) spanning the last ca. 10 ka

DOI

This dataset includes both original and previously published paleomagnetic data.

The new data refer to a marine sediment sequence (ANTA02-AV43 core) collected in the in Wood Bay, located along the coast of Victoria Land, within the western Ross Sea (Antarctica) and spanning the last ca. 10 ka. The formerly published paleomagnetic data from coeval sediment cores refer to the from the RS15‐GC57 core of Truax et al. (2025) collected in the adjacent Robertson Bay, and from the PC18 and PC19 cores of Macrì et al. (2005), recovered from the continental rise of the Wilkes Land basin offshore the coast of East Antarctica. The data from these two latter cores were relocated to the location of the ANTA02-AV43 core with the Noel and Batt (1990) method.

The estimated age of the formerly published dataset has been re-evaluated after correlation of paleomagnetic trends with the ANTA02-AV43 core and prediction of geomagnetic variation at the ANTA02-AV43 site according to the CALS10k.2 model of Constable et al. (2016). We then combined the new ANTA02-AV43 dataset with existing Holocene records from sediment cores of comparable resolution (PC18 and PC19) to develop the paleomagnetic “HOLOANTA” stack. This composite record averages paleomagnetic data over the last 10,000 years in 200-year intervals. It includes relative paleointensity (RPI) as well as paleomagnetic inclination and declination data, providing a robust regional Holocene RPI curve alongside directional secular variation (PSV) trends.
