High-resolution laser diffraction particle size data from Lake Terkos, Türkiye

The dataset documents results from particle size analysis (PSA) of lake sediment samples collected from Terkos Lake, Türkiye in 2024. These samples were collected as part of a multiproxy dataset to interpret paleoenvironmental changes over the late Holocene. The research was carried out as part of the USGS Ecosystems Land Change Science Program.

Laboratory work was conducted using sediment analysis instrumentation housed in the Bascom Laser Diffraction Sedimentology Laboratory at the U.S. Geological Survey's Florence Bascom Geoscience Center in Reston, Virginia. Samples underwent laser diffraction PSA using a Beckman Coulter LS 13 320 XR particle size analyzer.
