NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Non-linear Holocene climate evolution in the North Atlantic: a high resolution, multi-proxy record of glacier activity and environmental change from Hvitarvatn, central Iceland

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 03:39 PM | Dataset Last Updated: January 02, 2012 at 12:00 AM
This archived Paleoclimatology Study is available from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), under the World Data Service (WDS) for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Lake. The data include parameters of paleolimnology with a geographic location of Iceland, Northern Europe. The time period coverage is from 12190 to -56 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
