Paleoceanography


Shipboard coring equipment Ocean coring ship Foraminifer

Paleoceanography data are derived from many proxies found in deep sea sediments including trace metal and isotopic composition of fossil plankton, species composition, and lithology. The WDC archives data for all times in the past. You are likely to find data relevant to the PAGES and PAGES-CLIVAR timescales in our relational database, while data for older geologic times (more than 1 million years before present) will be found only in the by contributor directory of our FTP site. Coral and mollusk data are archived in their own sub-directories.

An agreement with the editors provides for the archiving at the WDC of data published in Paleoceanography. Two Paleoceanography editorials (Volume 9 Number 3, June 1994) discuss Archiving data for Paleoceanography and Archiving data at the World Data Center for Paleoclimatology.
International Marine Global Change Study (IMAGES)
Index to Marine Geological Samples Database maintained by the World Data Center for Marine Geology and Geophysics, which includes many more core samples than those cataloged by the WDC for Paleoclimatology.
