NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - West Turkana, Kenya Early Pleistocene Leaf Wax Hydrogen Isotope 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 Lake. The data include parameters of paleolimnology with a geographic location of Kenya, Eastern Africa. The time period coverage is from 1727400 to 1596800 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
