Sedimentary evidence for a period of rapid environmental change in the Yangtze River Delta, China around 150 years ago

This dataset includes the grain size and stable isotope of organic carbon measured from two sediments cores (KZ01-A and KZ02), which were collected from the North Channel of Yangtze River mouth. The dataset was used to reconstruct the evolution history of the North Channel and to examine the extreme events including the storm and river flood.
