Description:
Abstract:
This dataset consists of fossil diatom counts from sediment cores collected in coastal environments on Montague Island, Alaska, and analyzed at Virginia Tech University.
Purpose:
The data were collected, analyzed, and interpreted to estimate the amount of vertical land-level change caused by past earthquakes that ruptured the Patton Bay splay fault system, Alaska.

Process_Description:
Sediment cores collected by hand-driven auger at Montague Island, Alaska, were subsampled for fossil diatom analyses. Diatoms, a type of siliceous microalgae, were analyzed following the methods of Dura and Hemphill-Haley (2020). We sampled sediment cores in the lab at 1- to 2-cm depth intervals across stratigraphic contacts of interest. Diatoms were identified to the species level and a minimum of 300 diatom valves were counted in each of the 89 samples analyzed.
