Miocene-Pliocene Paleoclimatic Database of NE Mediterranean: ODP cores and Cyprus onland sections

Publication: 25-02-2022

Last revision: 25-02-2022

Description

The file is a collection of paleo-proxies from the NE Mediterranean. The data are exclusively from cores from deep sea basins (ODP cores) and geological sections in Cyprus and relate to targeted periods of geological time: 1. Pliocene Warm Period (PWP): the high CO2 paleo-analogue of the "warm Pliocene" (5.3-3.0 million years) 2. Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO): the Miocene Climate Optimum (14.7-17 million years).

The file contains different sheets based on the study period (Miocene or Pliocene) and the code/name of each ODP core or geological section. Each sheet includes the necessary information for the included studies and the available paleo-climatic proxies:

  • Stable isotopes and geochemical analyses of the sediment and planktonic organisms
  • Alkenones, paleotemperature and paleosalinity
  • Paleoclimatic bioindices of planktonic and benthic microorganisms
  • Pollen and spores paleovegetation proxies.
