Summary
Abstract: Late Holocene (2200-present) spring water temperatures from Chesapeake
Bay in the eastern United States determined from magnesium/calcium
(Mg/Ca) ratios in the ostracode Loxoconcha. The file provides a
composite temperature curve constructed from 3 sediment core Mg/Ca
records. Details on chronology, methodology, and implications for
late Holocene climate variability can be found in the original
