NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Lake Bosumtwi, Ghana Sediment Age Models

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 Lake. The data include parameters of paleolimnology (age control) with a geographic location of Ghana, Western Africa. The time period coverage is from 500000 to 0 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
