Foraminifera abundances, IRD, stable isotope record and age determination of Arctic Ocean surface sediment samples

The experiment which was called the Arctic Ocean Section (AOS), recovered a series of piston and box cores along a transect of the Arctic that extended from the Chukchi Sea to the North Pole and into the eastern Arctic Basin. In this report we present data on abundance of foraminifers, ice-rafted detritus, and oxygen and carbon isotope data from AOS box core surface sediment samples and for downcore samples.
