Brief description

Sediment cores were collected from the East Antarctic margin, aboard the Australian Marine National Facility R/V Investigator from January 14th to March 5th 2017 (IN2017_V01; Armand et al., 2018). This marine geoscience expedition, named the “Sabrina Sea Floor Survey”, focused notably on studying the interactions of the Totten Glacier with the Southern Ocean through multiple glacial cycles. The cores were collected using a multi-corer, allowing to sample the surface of the sediment (top ~ 30cm). The cores were then sliced every centimetre, wrapped up in plastic bags, and stored in the fridge. The sediment samples were dated using 210-Pb analysis for future paleo-reconstructions. 210-Pb is a radioisotope which allows to date sediment back to 150 years, which is ideal for surface (i.e. recent) sediment samples.

Sediment samples were dried, ground and sent to Edith Cowan University (Joondalup, Western Australia) for sample preparation and analysis. Total 210Pb was determined through the analysis of its granddaughter 210Po by alpha spectrometry after complete sample digestion using an analytical microwave in the presence of a known amount of 209Po added as a tracer (Sanchez-Cabeza et al., 1998). The concentrations of excess 210Pb were determined as the difference between total 210Pb and 226Ra (supported 210Pb), the later determined by gamma spectrometry through the measurement of its decay products 214Pb and 214Bi using a HPGe detector (CANBERRA, Mod.
