All cores were collected from continental shelf areas, in water depths of ~100 m or less, and the cores were collected in 2014 and 2017. Four of the cores were collected using a multi-corer and were less than ~35 cm in length, the fifth core was collected using a gravity corer and was ~90 cm in length. The data include grain size data, 210Pb activities, 137Cs activities, and 14C dates.  ",
