Abstract
Particle-bound Th-234 measurements and C:234Th ratios for size-fractionated particles collected during the 2012-2013 field season of the Palmer LTER program near Anvers Island in the Western Antarctic Peninsula. Particle-bound Th-234 is a useful tracer for particle scavenging and sinking processes in the ocean. Particles were sampled from 0, 10, 20, or 30 m depth and filtered through a 50-µm sieve before being concentrated onto a GF/F filter for carbon and Th-234 analyses. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/881137
