Spoth-Ascencao, Meghan: Lacustrine climate proxies of Baboon Lakes, central Sierra Nevada, California over the last 12,000 years [dataset bundled publication]. PANGAEA, https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.996757 (dataset in review)
Abstract:
The proxy record from Baboon Lakes (3350 m asl), High Sierra, California spans 300 to 11500 cal BP. The age model for Baboon Lakes is constrained by seven macrofossil radiocarbon dates. The associated age model for the pollen assemblage accumulation rates was constructed with INTCAL20 under R.Bacon. Pollen samples were processed, IDed, and counted with quantitative black ceramic microspheres at the University of Maine. The assemblage has 20 taxa identified. Data is presented as raw counts per slide, percentage (%) of the upland sum, pollen concentration (grains/cm3), and pollen accumulation rates (grains/cm2/yr). The plant wax biomarkers (n-alkanes) from Baboon Lakes also spans 300 to 11500 cal BP. Samples were processed at the University of Cincinnati. Alkanes were isolated by chain length with concentration measured as ug/g of sediment. For each chain length, stable isotopes were measure then reported as VSMOW for hydrogen (dD) and VDPB (d13C) isotopes.
