This global compilation was generated to explore the application of thorium-234 (234Th) as a tracer for recent sedimentation in submarine canyons. Submarine canyons are located along the continental margins, including the shelf regions, which are disproportionally relevant for the carbon cycle and other essential biogeochemical processes. These geomorphological features can act as funnels for particles and represent a strong connection between land and the open ocean. The continental margins encompass dynamic environments, granting the necessity to use tracers capable of quantifying short-term events. 234Th is a particle reactive radionuclide that gets scavenged onto particles in the water column and, due to its short half-life of 24.1 days, it allows estimating the magnitude of recently deposited sediment on the seabed over the previous ~4 months. Excess 234Th (234Thxs) with respect to 234Th in secular equilibrium with its parent nuclide uranium-238 can be used to calculate excess 234Th inventories as a proxy of recent sediment deposition (Aller and Cochran, 1976). Moreover, the vertical profile of 234Thxs in surface sediment also serves for estimation of mixing rates when sedimentation rates are sufficiently low. This has advantages over the classic and extensively used lead-210 dating method with a decadal integration period (Arias-Ortiz et al., 2018), since the relatively short time scale of 234Th can match the occurrence of recent short deposition events, thus revealing the impacts of potential recent riverine runoff, trawling-derived deposition or phytoplankton blooms, among others. To compile these data we conducted a search across Google Scholar (last accessed: 03-Sep-2025 ) for periods encompassing 1979-2025, and obtained 123 search results using the terms: (Excess 234Th OR Excess 234 Th OR Excess Th-234 OR Excess Thorium-234) AND (submarine canyon OR canyon OR off-shelf) AND (sediment core OR sediment samples OR core OR gamma spectrometry OR gamma spectroscopy OR gamma counting OR radiochemical analysis OR radioisotopic). After thorough inspection of the publications, those reporting sedimentary 234Th data in canyon environments were selected, resulting in a compilation of data from a total of 26 publications from 20 different canyons. Data on 234Thxs parameters, sampling methodology, and contextual information of sediment cores obtained in submarine canyon environments were carefully extracted using the information given in the main text, tables, figures, and supplementary files. Latitude, longitude and sampling dates were assigned to the midpoint or the sampling month when not explicitly stated. Gamma spectrometry was applied as the counting method, with one exception measured by beta counting. Empty cells represent missing data. In 12 studies, data was also provided from the shelf, slope or abyssal plain near the canyon. The compilation includes surface 234Thxs activities, 234Thxs penetration depths, 234Thxs inventories and mixing rates (Db) from canyon studies with coring sites inside canyons, spanning a depth range from 120 to 4280 m and, additionally, near those canyons. In canyons, the most frequently provided parameter is the surface 234Thxs activity (19 of 26 studies) ranging from 20 to 4040 Bq kg-1with a mean value of 520 Bq kg-1. 10 of 26 studies reported 234Thxs inventories, showing high variability with a range of values between 10 and 50700 Bq m-2 and a mean value of 2860 Bq m-2. 10 of 26 studies reported (or provide enough data for extraction of) 234Thxs penetration depths (mean of 2 cm, ranging from 0.4 to 24 cm). The least frequently reported 234Thxs parameter is mixing rate (6 of 26 studies) yet encompassing a large range of values from 0.2 to 68.7 cm2 y-1 with a mean of 6.9 cm2 y-1.This database provides an overview of the variability of recent sediment deposition patterns as well as other sedimentary parameters derived from 234Th measurements across canyons distributed globally. Advancing the characterization of short-term sedimentary signatures using 234Th is promising and relevant in canyon environments, which represent a crucial link in the land-ocean interface.

Productivity parameter, heavy metals, visible reflectance spectroscopy and diatom assemblages derived from lake surface sediment samples from Schweriner See, NE-Germany, were used to infer depositional processes and their influences. Samples were taken in a grid using an Ekman-Birge grab samples in a distance of 1.3 to 2 km forming an almost equally spaced grid covering the entire northern basin of Schweriner See and from water depths ranging from 0.5 to 51.5 m. Parameter could be divided into three main processes: productivity (e.g. TOC), carbonate precipitation (e.g. TIC) as well as wave- and wind-induced processes (e.g. sand percentage). Surface sediment sampling provided an thorough untderstanding of depositional processes, which proved valuable for core site selection as in Schweriner See sediment reworking in shallow water areas by wave- and wind-induced processes or carbonate precipitation resulting from groundwater inflow may have altered the desired signal.
Here, we compile an extensive global surface sediment dataset of OH-isoGDGTs as well as regular isoprenoid GDGTs (isoGDGTs), with both data generated at NIOZ and previously published data from other laboratories. We explore recently developed temperature proxies based on hydroxylated isoprenoid Glycerol Dialkyl Glycerol Tetraethers (OH-isoGDGTs), such as %OH, RI-OH, RI-OH' and OHC for their potential for reconstructing past temperature changes. The data contains surface sediment data from the global ocean used in the study 'Evaluating isoprenoidal hydroxylated GDGT-based temperature proxies in surface sediments from the global ocean'. The excel sheet contains information regarding the surface sediments, their location, enivironmental parameters from each location extracted from WOA database, peak area of iso-GDGTs and OH-isoGDGTs, proxy indices discussed in the study and references for previously published data.
The relative contribution and the composition of terrestrial organic matter were assessed by the analysis of phenolic lignin oxidation products and by the stable isotope composition of organic carbon in surface sediments of the Baltic Sea. For analyses, sub samples of lyophilized, ground and homogenized surface sediment (0-1 cm) material from the collection of surface sediments of the Institut fuer Ostseeforschung Warnemuende were used. Methods Lignin analysis: Between 500 to 2000 mg of dried and homogenised sediment were oxidized at 170°C for 2 h in the presence of 2 mol/L NaOH, CuO, and (NH)4Fe(SO4)2. After centrifugation, the supernatants were acidified to pH 2 with 6 mol/L HCl. The humic acids, which precipitated, were removed by centrifugation. The supernatant was further purified by solid phase extraction. The lignin-derived phenols were sorbed from the acidic solution on C18 material and later eluted with ethyl acetate. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation, and the phenolic oxidation products were transferred to autosampler vials with methanol that was then removed under a flux of N2. Before analysis by GC/MS, the samples were dissolved in acetonitrile and derivatized with N,O-bis-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamid (BSTFA) for 1 h at room temperature. Thereafter, they were diluted with acetonitrile according to the expected phenol concentrations. One microliter of each sample was injected in splitless mode, and the phenols were separated in a HP 6890 gas chromatograph equipped with a HP5MS column (30 m x 250 micrometer x 0.25 micrometer). The temperature program of the gas chromatograph was 100°C isothermal for 4 min, ramp to 220°C at 4°C min^-1 with a 5-min isothermal period at 120°C, isothermal at 220°C for 3 min, ramp to 300°C at 30°C min^-1, and final isothermal period for 10 min. The transfer line to the mass spectrometer was kept at 325°C throughout the analysis. The HP 5973 mass spectrometer was operated in the EI mode at 70 eV. The ion source temperature was 230°C, and the quadrupole was kept at 150°C. Compounds were quantified by integration of the base ions and by comparison of the peak areas with those of synthetic standards. Before oxidation, ethylvanillin was added as an internal standard for the determination of recovery. To rule out possible transformations of the internal standard during the oxidation step, blanks containing only ethylvanillin and the reagents were also processed. GC-FID analysis of these blanks displayed a single peak with the retention time of ethylvanillin, and there was no evidence of any transformation of ethylvanillin during the oxidation step under the experimental conditions. The internal standard was added at the beginning of the analysis to ensure that the internal standard and the lignin oxidation products have the same history during the entire analysis. On average, 75% of the added ethylvanillin was recovered after the complete analytical procedure; the range of recoveries was from 50% to 105%. Concentrations and delta13C of total organic carbon Approximately 20 mg of the homogenized sample were weighed into tared sample vessels for elemental composition (total carbon, total nitrogen, organic carbon) and for isotope analyses (delta13C of organic carbon). Total carbon was determined in a Carlo Erba/Fisons 1108 Elemental Analyzer after combustion. A second weighed sample split in tared silver foil vessels was treated with 2N HCl to remove inorganic carbon. On this sub-sample, the concentrations of TOC and isotope ratio delta13C of organic carbon (given in permil versus V-PDB) were determined simultaneously in a Carlo Erba/Fisons 1108 Elemental Analyzer connected to an isotope-ratio mass spectrometer (Finnigan Delta S). The reference gas was pure CO2 from a cylinder calibrated against carbonate (NBS- 18, 19, 20). The standard deviation for replicate analyses of delta13C was less than 0.2 permil. The original data were corrected for the addition of anthropogenic CO2 (Suess effect) by substracting – 1.48 permil from the measured delta13C values of total organic carbon.
Data set of dinocyst assemblages (% of 71 taxa) and corresponding location and sea-surface parameters.
Total organic carbon (TOC) and mineral assemblages are key data sets determined to characterize marine sediments in terms of sediment provenances, processes, and depositional environments. In a comprehensive review and synthesis (Stein, 2008), such data were compiled for Arctic Ocean surface sediments and shown in nine selected distribution maps: four maps of clay minerals (illite, smectite, chlorite, and kaolinite), four maps of heavy minerals (amphibole, clinopyroxene, epidote, and garnet), and one TOC map. The data used to produce these maps, are represented in the three tables of this data report. For details in background information and methodology see primary source literature cited here as well as the Stein (2008) synthesis.
