Drill site locations from MPSV GREATSHIP MANISHA IODP-347 cruise in the Baltic Sea in 2013 (IODP-347 Microbial Quantification project)

Abstract

In 2013, Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 347 sampled six subbasins within the Baltic Sea Basin in an effort to understand the sedimentological record of climate dynamics over the last 140,000 years. These sites, including Bornholm Basin (BSB-7), Lille Belt (BSB-3), and Anholt Loch (BSB-9), were selected because they contain varved, rapidly deposited sediments that represent an archive of paleoclimatological information spanning from the last glacial cycle. This expedition was led by Dr. Bo Barker Jørgensen of Aarhus University and Dr. Thomas Andrén of Södertörn University aboard the vessel MPSV GREATSHIP MANISHA. Data included here are dates sampled, latitude and longitude, and depth of overlying water. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the supplemental document 'Field_names.pdf', and a full dataset description is included in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'.
