Submitting data to the DPDC

Diatom Paleolimnology Data Cooperative - NOAA Paleoclimatology Program

The mandate from NOAA is to compile datasets that will help researchers better understand paleoclimate.  Many diatom paleolimnological studies have directly addressed paleoclimatological questions, but it is likely all core and surface sediment data contain some information relative to paleoclimate.  Indeed, one of the main uses of the DPDC will be to recombine existing data in new ways to answer paleoclimatological and other research questions.

Therefore, although cores with inferred climatological signals are a priority, all diatom core and surface sediment information will be considered for acceptance.  At present, we wish to concentrate on the Western hemisphere. Contributors must understand that data submitted to the DPDC will be freely distributed.

We would like to compile a list of investigators interested in submitting to the DPDC.  This will help us know which datasets are available and plan for efficient data entry.

If you are interested in contributing data to the DPDC, please complete this short form.

If you have multiple datasets, please submit once for each separate dataset.
