NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Lake Stóra Viðarvatn, Iceland Biomarker Data over the past 10,900 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: 2023-09-25T00:00:00.000+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 Lake. The data include parameters of paleolimnology with a geographic location of Iceland, Northern Europe. The time period coverage is from 10849 to 13 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
