restricted

Other constraints

The dataset has been formally approved by BGS for access by external clients under a BGS Digital Data Licence, issued via BGS's IPR Section. The dataset must not be provided to, or be accessible by, an external client until the IPR Section confirms that signed licence documentation is in place. Refer to the IPR Section (DigitalLE@bgs.ac.) if further advice is required.. Constraint applies until 2023-02-01

NERC/BGS accepts no liability whatever in respect of loss, damage, injury or other occurence however caused.

Other constraints

Either: (i) the dataset is made freely available, e.g. via the Internet, for a restricted category of use (e.g. educational use only); or (ii) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under licence, but its use may be permitted under alternative formal arrangements; or (iii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted in order to determine the permitted usage of the dataset. Refer to the BGS staff member responsible for the creation of the dataset if further advice is required. He / she should be familiar with the composition of the dataset, particularly with regard to 3rd party IPR contained in it, and any resultant use restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section ( ipr@bgs.ac.uk) for advice, should the position not be clear.

Statement

Samples were prepared for X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) to determine clay mineralogy at the Biogéosciences Laboratory, Université Bourgogne/Franche-Comté, Dijon. Clay phases were discriminated following the methods of Moore & Reynolds (1997) and the identification of clay minerals follows the methods of Deconinck et al. (2019). Samples for palynofacies and microcharcoal were prepared at the Physical Geography Laboratory, University of Exeter, Exeter, Devon, UK. The palynological maceration (HCl + HF) technique was applied and the palynofacies were analysed in the unsieved neutralized residue. Microcharcoal was counted in the 10-125 µm residue. Methods follow Belcher et al. (2005). The samples for TOC, CaCO3, and bulk organic carbon isotope mass spectrometry were prepared at the University of Exeter Environmental & Sustainability Institute, stable isotope facility, Penryn, Cornwall, UK.
