NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Guatemala Speleothem Stable Isotope Data over the last 140,000 years

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-10-31T00:00:00.000+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 Cave. The data include parameters of speleothems with a geographic location of Guatemala, Central America. The time period coverage is from 139252 to 310 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
