Global Benthic \delta^{18}O Stack

Description

A global Pliocene-Pleistocene benthic \delta^{18}O stack.

Usage

lisiecki2005

Format

A data.frame with 2115 observations and 3 variables:

age

numeric: calendar age (kilo year cal BP).

delta

numeric: benthic \delta^{18}O (per mil).

error

numeric: standard error (per mil).

Details

The LR04 stack spans 5.3 Myr and is an average of 57 globally distributed benthic \delta^{18}O records (which measure global ice volume and deep ocean temperature) collected from the scientific literature.
