Contact information: Christine Y. Chen, cychen@caltech.edu OR cychen.earth@gmail.com Dates of data collection and generation: February 2016 to July 2019 --------------- VERSION NOTES (v2.0) This online data repository was updated in order to correct errors in the U-Th data tables (Tables A1, A2, and A3) and subsequently update the age-depth model. The corrections impacted the files named 'CYChen et al. (2020) QSR - U-Th Data Tables for PLJ-1 and 1996 cores - v2.xlsx' and 'CYChen et al. (2020) QSR - Input Your Own Depths for Age-Depth Model - v2.xlsx'. No changes have been made to the original versions of other datasets. However, all components of this data repository have been given the "v2" identifier to be consistent with the versioning scheme applied to this data repository as a whole by Zenodo. --------------- DESCRIPTION OF DATA This data repository contains the following datasets and supplementary materials. Specific documentation and, where applicable, instructions of use are included in the readme section of each file. We refer the user to the original manuscript (see above) and the text of the Supplemental Materials published alongside this manuscript for additional general information regarding the collection and generation of these data.
