Paleoclimate-records database

In the new Scientific Data paper "A global database of Holocene paleotemperature records" by Darrell Kaufman et al., authors present a global compilation of quality-controlled, published, temperature-sensitive proxy records extending back 12,000 years through the Holocene.

This database helps place recent warming into the longer-term context of natural climate variability.

Data were compiled from 679 sites where time series cover at least 4000 years and derive from lake sediment (51%), marine sediment (31%), peat (11%), glacier ice (3%), and other natural archives.

The database contains 1319 records, including 157 from the Southern Hemisphere.

PAGES provided additional support for workshops leading up to this data product.
