Falkland Islands - Mt Usborne and Mt Adam sediment records

In 2014 and 2015 the Black Tarn and adjacent sediments on mt Usborne and two ponds in Mt Adam were cored to retrieve sediments related to the glacial history of the cirques. Subsamples of the cores were taken for radiocarbon and sedimentological analysis. A technical report is available with the data.
