Paleo Data Search

NCEI offers search and download of Paleoclimatic proxy data and Paleoclimate Reconstructions from the NOAA/World Data Service for Paleoclimatology archives. Over 10,000 data sets are available, derived from natural sources such as tree rings, ice cores, corals, and ocean and lake sediments. Use the General search box or Advanced search to improve filtering by investigators, locations, keywords and time periods. Data files for the entire result set, or a subset of it, can be downloaded as a single compressed file. A web service is also provided that you can use to get Paleo studies' metadata in JSON format. See the API help page for details and examples. You can also see some tips for using this page by clicking here.
