NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Nebraska Sand Hills Lake Level Data over the last 6000 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: 2017-11-15T00:00:00.000+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 Level Reconstruction. The data include parameters of climate reconstructions|lake levels|paleolimnology with a geographic location of Nebraska, United States Of America. The time period coverage is from 6449 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.
