NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Iceland Basin Sortable Silt Data During the Holocene

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2014-06-06T00:00:00.000+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 North Atlantic Ocean. The time period coverage is from 12120 to 0 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
