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
