NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Global speleothem oxygen isotope measurements since the Last Glacial Maximum

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 01:12 PM | Dataset Last Updated: December 14, 2011 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 Cave. The data include parameters of speleothems (oxygen isotopes) with a geographic location of Minnesota, United States Of America. The time period coverage is from 248200 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.
