Abstract
These data are sediment core, radiocarbon, and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) data from the barrier islands and backbarrier lagoons, bays, and marshes of Assateague Island (VA, USA), Chincoteague Island (VA, USA), and Wallops Island (VA, USA). Vibracore data from Tom’s Cove, a backbarrier bay, were collected using a vibracore system with the ability to core through a ‘moonhole’ on a flat bottom boat. Geoprobe cores were collected using a track-mounted 66DT Geoprobe direct-push drill rig. Select samples from the sediment cores (associated with figures and tables in Shawler et al., 2021) were analyzed using a Beckman-Coulter Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyzer (LS 13 320 Aqueous Liquid Module) with an applied calculation model that uses Fraunhöfer theory. Data are available as Microsoft Excel Workbooks and can be opened using Excel or numerous free and open sources products such as Google Sheets. Each sediment core data spreadsheet contains a “READ ME” tab with additional detail. The full OSL report from co-author Sebastien Huot is also included and can be accessed with a PDF reader.
