Potter Peninsula, South Shetland Islands

Chronological and sedimentological studies from Potter Peninsula, South Shetland Islands.

Consisting of the following folders

BChron - input/output data and R code for chronological analysis from sites on King George Island

RCarbon - input/output data and R code for chronological analysis from sites on King George Island

Potter_data - datasets and metadata for data from Potter Peninsula

These folders contain data and code for stratigraphic chronological and sedimentological data and data compilations from Potter Peninsula, King George Island, and the South Shetland Islands.

The data have been used to constrain deglaciation and glacier dynamics on Potter Peninsula.

The code folder contains R code and data used to analyse the data and construct figures for the following submitted manuscripts:
