Geochemical data of the marine sediment core FA09 from the southern Red Sea
To gain a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between regional atmospheric circulation, precipitation patterns and sea level fluctuations within the southern Red Sea, we combined high-resolution bulk geochemical and mineralogical compositions with detrital grain-size distributions and plant-wax biomarkers. This dataset includes the radiocarbon ages, XRF-CS elemental counts, the MLC (multivariate log-ratio calibration) predicted elemental concentrations, the siliciclastic grain sizes, siliciclastic end-members, and long-chain terrestrial n-alkanes of core FA09 for the past 30 kyr. Marine sediment core FA09 was retrieved from the continental slope near the Farasan Islands (southern Red Sea) during the 2013 ERC-funded DISPERSE cruise, aboard R/V Aegaeo.
