Stable isotope signatures of Holocene syngenetic permafrost in the Thule District (NW Greenland)

Holocene permafrost peat from sites in the Thule District, NW Greenland, was studied for organic matter composition, i.e. TOC, TN, δ13C and δ15N. The material was obtained from radiocarbon-dated drill cores reaching 320 cm below surface (bs) in core GL3 (76.03288°N, 67.61811°W) and 198 cm bs in core SI1 (76.56908°N, 70.04099°W). Furthermore, the isotopic composition (δ18O and δD) of one GL3 ice wedge was analysed.
