  <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: XRF measurements performed at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography. XRD performed by John Andrews at INSTAAR. See dissertation chapter for details. Detailed metadata available from the Oregon State University Stable Isotope Lab.
       Provided Keywords: Glacial, last deglacial</Abstract>
