Abstract The discovery of stimuli-responsive high affinity host–guest pairs with potential applications under biologically relevant conditions is a challenging goal. This work reports a high-affini...

Mean ice grain size and crystal-preferred orientation data was obtained from vertical thin sections (ca. 6.7 x 9 cm²) of the East Greenland Ice Core Project (EGRIP) ice core to analyze the microstructural evolution and internal deformation with depth. Vertical ice thin sections were prepared and measured with the Fabric Analyzer G50 (resolution: 20 μm/pixel) in the field at the EGRIP site in the summer seasons between 2018 and 2019, and at the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research. 55 cm long sample were cut into six thin sections and used to calculate mean grain size values for these 9 cm long sections with the program cAxes between 1340 and 2121 m of depth. The stated depths of the section represent the top, center, and bottom of the section.

Micro-inclusions in thirteen samples (1360-2115 m) from the Last Glacial of the East Greenland Ice Core Project ice core in North-East Greenland were located with microstructure mapping and analysed with Raman spectroscopy. Ice samples were drilled and processed between 2018 and 2019, Raman analysis was performed between March 2021 and April 2022 at the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research. The samples are between 14.4 and 49.8 ka yr old and cover the Last Glacial period. Ice sample sizes are usually 10 x 10 mm; micro-inclusions are only a few micrometers large. The original ice core sample bag (55 cm long) number is indicated by four numbers, the number after the underscore implies the section of the respective bag. S_x indicated the sample number as referred to in the preprint, the depth is displayed in m. Located micro-inclusions are indicated with colored dots measured with Raman spectroscopy. Images point in the direction of the ice sheet surface, i.e. top is upwards.

The data here described are presented in the submitted paper Response of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin Ice Sheet to Southern Ocean Warming During Late Pleistocene Interglacials by Crotti et al. This data set includes new high resolution measurements of d-excess, d18O and ssNa+ for the Antarctic TALDICE ice core (Latitude: -72.783330, Longitude: 159.066670, Elevation: 2315.0 m). The new data set covers the interglacials periods of MIS 5.5, MIS 7.5 and MIS 9.3 (1486 m depth - 1548 m depth). The data are drawn on the TALDICE deep1 chronology (Crotti et al. 2021). The d-excess (d = δD − 8 × δ18O) (permill) record covers the periods MIS 5.5 , MIS 7.5 and 9.3 MIS is at 5 cm resolution and spans the following age-depths intervals: • MIS 5.5. Between 1378.5 and 1421.65 m depth, 110-135 ka • MIS 7.5. Between 1521.85 and 1524.5 m depth, 243-248 ka • MIS 9.3. Between 1541.80 and 1547.90 m depth, 320-343 ka The d18O record (permill) covers the periods MIS 5.5 , MIS 7.5 and 9.3 MIS is at 5 cm resolution and spans the following age-depths intervals: • MIS 7.5.

Between 1521.81 and 1524.54 m depth, 243-248 ka • MIS 9.3. Between 1541.73 and 1547.96 m depth, 320-343 ka The d18O and dD (non presented here) to calculate the d-excess were analysed in Italy (University of Venice) and France (LSCE) using the Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) technique. Analyses were performed using a Picarro isotope water analyser (L2130-i version for both laboratories). The data were calibrated using a three-point linear calibration with three lab-standards that were themselves calibrated versus Standard Mean Ocean Water (SMOW). The average precision for the δ18O and δD measurements is 0.1 and 0.7 ‰, respectively. The concentrations of ssNa+ were measured on TALDICE ice samples at 8 cm resolution by classical ion chromatography on discrete samples collected using a melting device connected to an auto-sampler for the MIS 7.5 and MIS 9.3 whereas Continuous Flow Analysis (CFA) was applied for MIS 5.5 samples. The total deposition ssNa+ flux was calculated multiplying the measured ice concentration of ssNa+ by the reconstructed accumulation rate. The accumulation rates were derived from the accumulation rates were obtained from the TALDICE deep1 age scale (Crotti et al. 2021).

This data set displays a refined age scale for the U1361A marine sediment core (64.41°S, 143.89°E, 3,454 m water depth), recovered from the continental rise offshore of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin, during the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition (Escutia et al. 2011). This age scale is a refined version of the age scale published in Wilson et al. 2018. Here we use the AICC2012 ice core chronology as a reference curve in order to compare the late Pleistocene sediment core data from U1361A to the TALDICE ice core record. Specifically, we refine the existing U1361A age model through the alignment of barium/aluminium (Ba/Al) ratios from XRF-scanning7 with the EDC δD record on the AICC2012 age scale. We apply a conservative tuning strategy to align the two records, using tie points (derived by visual matching) only at the mid-points of the major glacial terminations I-V. Over the interval of interest for the present study (i.e. ~100-350 ka), the new age model for core U1361 differs by only 0 to 6 ka compared to the previous age model in which the sedimentation rate was assumed to be constant. The Nd and IBRD (ice rafted debris) and 143 Nd/144 Nd records for the U1361A published in Wilson et al. (2018) are drawn on the refined age scale. IBRD was measured by weighing after wet-sievingIBRD (ire rafted debris) and 143Nd/144Nd records of the U1361A sediment core (Wilson et al. 2018) drawn of the refined age scale tuned on the AICC2012 chronology for EDC (Bazin et al. 2013)
