A compilation of Western European terrestrial records 60-8 ka BP: towards an understanding of latitudinal climatic gradients
Terrestrial records of past climatic conditions, such as lake sediments and speleothems, provide data of great importance for understanding environmental changes. However, unlike marine and ice core records, terrestrial palaeodata are often not available in databases or in a format that is easily ac...
