  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Records of past climate and ocean circulation derived from marine sediments. Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set.  Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations. 
          STUDY NOTES: Age models, 230Th-normalized fluxes, dust fluxes and grain size measurements for these samples and cores are available at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo/f?p=519:1:0::::P1_STUDY_ID:16397. Please cite original reference.
