Abstract:
This data set includes integrated peak areas for all measured GDGTs in two cores from Mfabeni, such as tetra-, penta-, and hexamethylated 5-methyl branched GDGTs as well as isoprenoid GDGTs. The data were used to calculate mean annual air temperature (MAATpeat) during the late Quaternary in southeast Africa, and the lowess smoothed composite MAATpeat is included in this data set.
