| Abstract | Holocene climate reconstructions are useful for understanding the diverse features and spatial heterogeneity of past and future climate change. Here we present a database of western North American
Holocene paleoclimate records. The database gathers paleoclimate time series from 184 terrestrial and marine sites, including 381 individual proxy records. The records span at least 4000 of the last 12?000 years (median duration of 10?725 years) and
have been screened for resolution, chronologic control, and climate sensitivity. Records were included that reflect temperature, hydroclimate, or circulation features. The database is shared in the machine readable Linked Paleo Data (LiPD) format and
includes geochronologic data for generating site-level time-uncertain ensembles. This publicly accessible and curated collection of proxy paleoclimate records will have wide research applications, including, for example, investigations of the primary
features of ocean-atmospheric circulation along the eastern margin of the North Pacific and the latitudinal response of climate to orbital changes. The database is available for download at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.12863843.v1 (Routson and
McKay, 2020). |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
A database of western North American Holocene paleoclimate records is compiled. The database gathers paleoclimate time series data from 209 terrestrial
and marine sites, including 382 individual proxy records. The records span at least 4000 of the last 12,000 years. The database is shared in the Linked Paleo Data (LiPD) format and will be publically accessible at the National Oceanic and Atmosphere
Administration (NOAA) World Data Service for Paleoclimatology (www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/study/30535 ). |
