P2-3 Arctic, Greenland - Avannaata Municipality, terrestrial None Piston corer 69.50213 -50.71267 9.0 0.5 Assigned 'Lake Name' based on Figure 5: Lake name + the number core they kept from the lake. Water depth from Figure 5 schematic (when shown). Core length from Figure 5 schematic (when shown). Lat/Long not given in paper or Gowan (2023). Using Google Earth and Figure 4 to fill these in. ; Depths are HIGHLY uncertain! Combination of text and assumptions from Fig. 5.; Depths are HIGHLY uncertain! Combination of text and assumptions from Fig. 5.; Top/bottom depth reported in paper in m below water surface. I've converted that to m in sediment section by subtracting the water depth.
