NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Southern Portugal Stable Isotope and Geochemistry Data during the Medieval Climate Anomaly, Little Ice Age, and Industrial Era

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-10-25T00:00:00.000+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 Cave. The data include parameters of speleothems with a geographic location of Portugal, Western Europe. The time period coverage is from 1200 to -72 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
