NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Brown University Foraminiferal Database

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2013-04-18T00:00:00.000+00:00
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 Paleoceanography. The data include parameters of paleoceanography with a geographic location of Global Ocean. The time period coverage is from 100 to -50 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
