STUDY NOTES: DESCRIPTION: The dataset is a high resolution d18O and d13C record for the Holocene from a cave in the Yangtze Valley in central China. Stable isotope samples were drilled continuously from the entire length of HS-4. A total of 1223 samples were measured on a Finnegan MAT 251 instrument at Wuhan, China with a precision of 0.1 per mil (based on long-term repeatability of standard measurements). These have a resolution of ~2 years in the uppermost 2000 years and, on average, 16 years in the rest of the record. The chronology of stalagmite HS-4 has been established independently by U-Th dating (21 samples measured by MC-ICP-MS at Oxford University) and layer counting. Full details of the chronology and age model are provided in Hu et al. 2008. NCDC-Paleoclimatology https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/paleoclimatology-data - Bauer Bruce Investigator : Hu, C.-Y.
