[{"name":"hang-2021-varve-1","title":"Legacy varve sediment data from the Kalmar-H\u00f6gsby area, southeast Sweden","summary":"This dataset summarises legacy varve records for 22 sites from the area between 56.8\u00b0\u2060\u200a\u2013\u200a\u206057.1\u00b0 N, 16.1\u00b0\u2060\u200a\u2013\u200a\u206016.5\u00b0 E, on Sweden's east coast.\r\n\r\nVarve thickness data from legacy annually-laminated sediment archives, along with the co-ordinates of the sediment sites. The varve series have not been correlated, and therefore each should be taken to be on its own timescale.\r\n\r\nThe legacy data have been collected from Sm\u00e5land in southeastern Sweden by previous researchers since the early 1900\u2019s. The data are not tied to a calendar timescale, but likely represent sedimentation during the B\u00f8lling warm period (14.7\u2060\u200a\u2013\u200a\u206014.1 thousand years before present).","citations":"Ringberg B, Hang T, Kristiansson J (2002) Local clay-varve chronology in the Karlskrona-Hultsfred region, southeast Sweden.

As such, it is likely that the dataset may contain errors from the original researchers (e.g. miscounting a varve), and possible that errors may have crept in during the digitisation process. Similarly, the site locations, though in decimal degrees here, would originally have been determined from verbose descriptions (e.g. distance and direction from a landmark or settlement) rather than precise co-ordinates.\r\n\r\nThe varve records were investigated by a number of researchers (names are in the spreadsheet), and were digitised by T. Hang during preparation for Ringberg et al. (2002). \r\n\r\nThe data have been compiled and deposited in the Bolin Centre Database by R. Avery.\r\n\r\nRachael S. Avery is affiliated with Stockholm University. Tiit Hang is currently affiliated with the University of Tartu, Estonia, but was affiliated with Stockholm University when he digitised these data.","category":"Terrestrial","subcategory":"Sediment cores","keywords":"Varves; Sediment; Pleistocene; Sweden","scientist":"Tiit Hang, Rachael S.
