In a standard palaeolimnological transfer function, the calibration set has one observation per lake, little or no … Continue reading

Status of palaeoceanographic transfer functions

A wide variety of microfossil groups have been used to generate quantitative reconstructions of palaeoceanographic conditions. This post lists the species groups used, the variables reconstructed with them, with some comments on the availability of the data. This list is … Continue reading
