Marine and terrestrial climate variability in the western Mediterranean Sea during marine isotope stages 20 and 19 from ODP site 161-976

Sediment samples from the Ocean Drilling Program Site 976 (36°12.3'N, 4°18.8'W) were used to derive high temporal resolution δ¹⁸O G. bulloides, palynological (pollen and spores) and calcareous plankton (coccolithophores and foraminifera) records. This data set was used to trace the climate variability within late Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 20 and MIS 19 in the area surrounding the Alboran Sea (western Mediterranean Sea).
