Sediment radioisotope (234Th) and carbon from sampling conducted at the Compass Station in Bedford Basin, Nova Scotia, Canada from 2021 to 2024

This dataset includes sediment radioisotope (234Th) and total organic carbon (TOC) data collected at the Compass Station in Bedford Basin, Nova Scotia, Canada at five time periods between 2021 and 2024. Sediment cores were sliced into 0.5 - 1 centimeter (cm) intervals and analyzed for excess 234Th by gamma counting and TOC at Dartmouth College and Dalhousie University, respectively. This research is done to better understand carbon cycling and particle dynamics in a coastal region of the North Atlantic.
