Abstract

The data presented in this paper are related to the research article "Sub-bottom and bathymetry sonar inspection of postglacial lacustrine infill of the alpine lakes (Tatra Mts., Slovakia)" (Dhavamani et al., 2022). An implementation of acoustic sonar protocols provided data for the interpretation of glacigene, glaciolacustrine, postglacial, mass-movement deposits, and geodynamic factors influencing the sedimentation in seven alpine and sub-alpine Tatra Mountains lakes. The field data document the survey track lines of the sonars and allow to identify the location of the geomorphologic phenomena described in (Dhavamani et al., 2022). The laboratory data obtained by micro-CT document the lithology of glaciolacustrine and postglacial lake infill and support the interpretation of sub-bottom sonar record.
