NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Macal Chasm, Belize 5300 Year Stalagmite Isotope and Luminescence/Reflectance Data

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 Belize, Central America. The time period coverage is from 5245 to -45 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
