Sediment Core PS115/2-2 was recovered from the Amundsen Basin in 3600 m water depth at the eastern flank of the Gakkel Ridge during Polarstern Expedition PS115/2 in 2018 (Stein, 2019). The well-dated core is used to reconstruct in detail the interrelationship between ice-sheet dynamics and organic carbon burial in the central Eurasian Basin during the last 430 kyr, and to correlate marine and terrestrial records of the Eurasian Ice Sheet (EIS) history. In this context, the AWI Avaatech XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) Core Scanner was used for rapid and non-destructive determination of the chemical composition of sediment sections of cores PS115/2-2-1 and PS115/2-2. Split core surfaces were scanned during a 10 kV, 30 kV, and 50 kV run, in order to obtain reliable intensities (counts per second) of specific major elements by analysing the spectra with for Arctic sediments adapted WinAxial™ models. For documentation and analytical details, we refer to the Avaatech Manual (https://epic.awi.de/id/eprint/37355/4/ XRFCore-Scanner_user-manualV2.pdf). For details and methods, we refer to Stein et al. (this paper).
