LR04 Global Pliocene-Pleistocene Benthic d18O Stack (5.3-Myr).

Description

The LR04 stack spans 5.3 Myr and is an average of 57 globally distributed benthic d18O records (which measure global ice volume and deep ocean temperature) collected from the scientific literature. Obtained from ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/contributions_by_author/lisiecki2005/lisiecki2005.txt on 28 June 2017. A data frame with 2115 rows and 3 variables.

Usage

LR04_MISboundaries

Format

A data frame with 232 rows and 7 variables:

MIS_Boundary

Marine isotope stage boundary, start/end

start_MIS

start of this phase

end_MIS

end of this phase

label_MIS

short version of 'start_MIS' suitable for annotating plots

LR04_Age_ka_start
