Radiocarbon ages measured in multi-core sediment samples collected during the IN2017-V01 voyage of the RV Investigator

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. Radiocarbon (14-C) ages were measured to build an age model for future paleo-reconstructions.


Sediment samples were pre-treated in the IMAS Sediment Lab (UTAS, Hobart, Australia). Samples (~ 2 g) from the multi-cores MC01, MC03 and MC06 were dried, ground and acidified with HCl for carbonate removal using sterilised beakers. Dried and ground samples were then packed into sterilised aluminium foil and sent to DirectAMS (Radiocarbon Dating Service, USA) for 14C analysis by Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (AMS).

Results were corrected for isotopic fractionation with an unreported δ13C value measured on the prepared carbon by the accelerator.
