This record describes the deep-sea sediment core products produced by Holder et al. (2020) from two sites in the Sabrina Coast continental slope and rise, the first sedimentary sequences investigated in this region of the East Antarctic. The cores were used to study changes in the oceanic and depositional environment and their interaction with the nearby Totten Glacier. The two archives show clear variations between glacial and interglacial phases over the last 350 Kyrs, driven by the movement of the ice sheet advancing and retreating over the continental shelf and ocean circulation patterns that deliver heat either close to the Antarctic coastline or further away from the continental slope. This research provided a foundation for future palaeoceanographic work in the region and suggested that warm oceanic conditions, similar to today, have influenced the Sabrina Coast during past warm interglacials over the last 350 Kyrs.

This record describes the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2017_V01 titled: "Interactions of the Totten Glacier with the Southern Ocean through multiple glacial cycles." The voyage took place from Hobart (TAS) to Hobart between the 14th January and 5th March, 2017. Data for 33 deployments were acquired during this voyage using a Seabird SBE911 CTD, fitted with 36 twelve litre bottles on the rosette sampler. Casts 1-10, 13 – 33 were acquired using the Seabird SBE911 CTD unit 20, and casts 11 and 12 were acquired using the Seabird SBE911 CTD unit 22. CTD and sensors were changed in efforts to remediate sensor issues. CSIRO -supplied calibration factors were used to compute the pressures, and preliminary temperature and conductivity values. The data were subjected to automated QC to remove spikes and out-of-range values. Processing was completed using CapPro processing software, version 2.9. For the duration of the voyage significant spikes were observed across all recorded sensor channels. Investigation strongly suggests electrical interference was the cause of the data spikes, as mitigation measures have alleviated the issue. Care was taken in post processing to remove the spikes while maintaining true data features. The nature of the spiking was primarily extreme values persisting for a single scan, which were suitably detected and flagged by evaluating the second-difference of the data. An additional filter was also applied to the data which evaluated the median and standard deviation of the conductivity over a moving window, which was used to detect extreme changes in the sensor values characteristic of the noise induced spikes. The final conductivity calibration was based on two deployment groupings, due to sensor changes during the voyage. The final calibration for casts 1-13 from the secondary sensor had a standard deviation (S.D) of 0.0010393 PSU, within our target of ‘better than 0.002 PSU’. The final calibration for casts 14-33 from the secondary sensor had a standard deviation (S.D) of 0.0020084 PSU. The standard product of 1dbar binned averaged were produced using data from the secondary sensors. The final Oxygen calibration from the primary sensor had a S.D of 0.85991 uM. The agreement between the sensor and bottle data was good. Both Oxygen sensors calibrated closely. The Biospherical photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), Wetlabs Transmissometer, the Wetlabs ECO chlorophyll, and O&A IMU sensors were also installed on the auxiliary A/D channels of the CTD. The collected data were subsequently processed and archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart.
