Learn how to use the NOAA paleoclimatology database! The NOAA paleoclimatology archive is the largest in the world containing ocean, lake, cave, and ice cores, charcoal, loess, pollen, coral, tree ring, and other forms of paleoenvironmental data. We will cover how to navigate the database, identify relevant datasets, and download data. Finally we will demonstrate how to move data into a usable format to start incorporating paleoclimate datasets into your project.
