NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Cango Cave, Late Quaternary Temperature Reconstruction
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 Climate Reconstruction. The data include parameters of climate reconstructions|speleothems with a geographic location of South Africa, Southern Africa. The time period coverage is from 6408 to 12 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
