Kul-10DB-G-A1-B1-A2-composite Arctic, Greenland - Sermersooq Municipality, terrestrial April 1, 2010 Uwitec gravity and percussion coring devices 65.56000 -37.11000 69.0 3.5 A composite 3.5 m record was compiled using a gravity core and 3 percussion cores that we are making into a single core entry; there is no chronologic control below 215 cm so no interpretation for the sediment prior to 9.5 cal ka BP was made

Lake information

Lake name Lake description Catchment area (m2) Open vs closed Mictic state
KULUSUK LAKE located below a cirque with two small glaciers and is within a low arctic maritime region with distinct moraines defined by sharp crests that are located in front of both glaciers True None
