Ancient Lake Level (Caspian Sea and Aral Sea) Paleoclimate Data
Entry ID:
EARTH_LAND_NGDC_PALEO_LAKELEVEL
Summary
Abstract:
The lake level dataset contains data on the reconstructed extent of the Aral
and Caspian Seas during the last glacial maximum 18,000 YBP. The reconstructions were made by Olga Dennisenko (Department of Geography, Moscow State University), Sandy Harrison (Department of Earth Sciences, Uppsala University), Colin Prentice (Department of Plant Ecology, Lund University), and Martin Sykes (Department ...

If you wish to use this data set as a mask for LGM simulations, please cite
Prentice et al. (1993) as the source. Please note, there is new data which suggests that the extent of these lakes may have been somewhat smaller than implied by the information given in Kvasov (1975a, 1975b). A new data set is currently being prepared and will be included on this website in the near future. Ancillary Keywords
