Summary
Abstract: Data consists of summer temperature reconstruction based on laminae thickness
in sediments from Upper Soper Lake, Baffin Island, Canada.

ABSTRACT (from the online documentation): Laminated sediments from Upper Soper
Lake on southern Baffin Island provide a new 500-year record of temperature
change in the Arctic. Radiometric dating, using 210 Pb and Pu, shows that ... View entire text
