Description:

Abstract:

This portion of the data release presents radiocarbon age data from 66 samples collected from Anahola Valley (Kaua'i), Kahana Valley (O'ahu), and Pololu Valley (Hawai'i). Sample ages were determined by the National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (NOSAMS) facility. The data are provided in a comma-delimited spreadsheet (.csv).

Purpose:

Data were obtained to assess evidence for tsunami inundation, runup, and timing in the Hawaiian Islands. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public.

Supplemental_Information:

Additional information about the field activities from which these data were derived is available online at:

Data_Set_Credit:

Radiocarbon analyses were conducted at the National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (NOSAMS) Facility, Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: No formal attribute accuracy tests were conducted

Logical_Consistency_Report: No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted
Completeness_Report:

Delta 13-C analyses were not performed for all samples. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The locations of samples were determined using a Garmin etrex 30x handheld global satellite navigation system (GNSS) receiver capable of receiving wide area augmentation system (WAAS) signals. The manufacturer reported accuracy for horizontal positions is 3-5 m while receiving WAAS signals.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

No formal positional accuracy tests were conducted, nor were they applicable for this dataset.

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Cores were collected between November 07, 2015 and November 21, 2015. A handheld global satellite navigation system (GNSS) receiver was used to determine the locations of sediment samples. Sediments were subsampled from cores by hand in the laboratory at 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 cm vertical intervals.

Process_Date: 20151121

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Radiocarbon analyses were conducted at the National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Facility, Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Samples selected for radiocarbon dating were plant and gastropod macrofossils or bulk sediment collected above and below sand sheets.
