Gradients were calculated relative to the mean stable carbon isotope composition of C. wuellerstorfi at ODP Site 162-982 for each time interval. Holocene and Last Glacial Maximum datasets were originally compiled by Peterson et al. (2014). Mid-Piacenzian datasets were originally compiled by Novak et al. (2024).
