Data stewardship scholarship project

OC3 was awarded a Data Stewardship Scholarship in May 2021.

Goal

To establish a novel global database of stable isotope δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O measurements on benthic foraminifera shells from ocean sediment cores with consistent, high-resolution age models, that will allow for easy updates and facilitate uncertainty quantification. In creating this database, a thorough data-quality check will be conducted and metadata will be included. Finally, tools will be created to easily extract information from the database.

Repository

Institutional repository of Conicet, Argentina (full dataset)
Zenodo (full dataset)
LinkedEarth (full dataset)
PaleoDataView (full dataset, atlas-like version)

Final products

• "A global synthesis of high-resolution stable isotope data from benthic foraminifera of the last deglaciation" by Muglia J,  et al. available online: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-023-02024-2
• The database is available online here: https://zenodo.org/record/7502756
• Custom python scripts to read and analyse the data base can be found in https://github.com/juanmuglia/OC3-python-scripts
