  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Data of past climate and environment derived from unusual proxy evidence.  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: Public database of taxonomic and nomenclatural information on diatoms in the United States. It serves as an identification guide and ecological resource providing analysts with the ability to create consistent and accurate data in support of federal and state compliance with the Clean Water Act.  Contributions are welcome.
