This data release contains paleoecological records from Santa Fe Lake, NM USA. Santa Fe Lake is a small (1.4 ha), subalpine lake in the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range of the Southern Rocky Mountains (35.79°N, 105.78°W, 3532 m a.s.l). Overlapping sediment cores were taken from Santa Fe Lake in September, 2020 in 5.4 m of water from a coring platform with a Livingstone square-rod piston corer, five cm in diameter, in one-m sections to produce a continuous 510 cm record. A 75-cm surface core that includes the sediment-water interface was taken with a freeze coring device through the ice in April, 2022. The multiproxy data included here were gained from analysis of lake sediments. The data sets include age-depth models, pollen counts, stomate counts, microscopic charcoal counts, fluorescence (XRF) counts, and magnetic susceptibility.
