Location description: Tustumena Lake, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. Tustumena Lake is a large (295 km square) and deep (290 m) glacier-fed lake that is located in a moraine-dammed, glacially scoured depression within 40 km of Paradox Lake. A 4-m-long core was retrieved from 12 m water depth in the distal embayment south of Caribou Island, where lower sedimentation rates allowed a more complete Holocene record to be retrieved; percussion piston corer used. The Tustumena Lake core, including its associated surface core, contains 19 tephra layers. Coordinates provided as degrees/minutes/seconds and converted to decimal degrees; datum not specified, assumed to be NAD83.
