Comprehensive uncertainty estimation of the timing of Greenland warmings in the Greenland ice core records
Paleoclimate proxy records have non-negligible uncertainties that arise from both the proxy measurement and the dating processes. Knowledge of the dating uncertainties is important for a rigorous propagation to further analyses, for example, for identification and dating of stadial–interstadial tran...

The joint dating uncertainties for all depths can then be described by a multivariate Gaussian process from which the chronology (such as the GICC05) can be sampled.

Paleoclimate proxy records have non-negligible uncertainties that arise from both the proxy measurement and the dating processes.
