NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Crevice Cave Geochemical Data from 90500 to 53100 Cal Yr BP

Description

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 with a geographic location of South Africa, Southern Africa. The time period coverage is from 90500 to 53060 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
