Chironomid species counts and chironomid-inferred summer temperatures, Lake N14, Greenland (early Holocene and late glacial) (2022)

This dataset contains subfossil chironomid (Diptera: Chironomidae) species counts and the corresponding chironomid-inferred summer temperatures from a sediment core recovered from Lake N14 in southern Greenland. The record covers the period from approximately 13,800 to 9,900 years ago (cal BP). Thes...
