Chironomid dataset from Mutterbergersee: A late-Holocene paleotemperature proxy record for the Central Eastern Alps, Austria.

ABSTRACT: We present a dataset of subfossil chironomid assemblages in the MUT-10 sediment core obtained from the high alpine lake Mutterbergersee in the Austrian Alps in 2010. The data were presented in the research article by Ilyashuk et al. (2019) "The Little Ice Age signature in a 700-year high-resolution chironomid record of summer temperatures in the Central Eastern Alps". In addition to the results of the chironomid analysis of 100 sediment samples presented in this article, we also include chironomid assemblage data from an additional 48 sediment samples that complement this dataset. The data includes raw chironomid counts, percent abundance of chironomid taxa, as well as mean July air temperature estimates derived from the chironomid record based on a chironomid-temperature transfer function
