  1. Names, geographic coordinates, depth intervals sampled, in situ temperature gradient (T gradient), and temperature maximum (Tmax) data for all sites. Uniformly cold control sites are labeled as ‘Ctrl’ in parentheses after the site names. All T gradients were calculated based on measured temperatures throughout the cored intervals.
