Late Quaternary hydroclimate variability in Madagascar and its connection atmospheric circulation patterns

The dataset contains bulk geochemical data (δ¹³Corg, TOC, TN and C/N), n-alkane abundances and their hydrogen isotope composition as well as percentages of pollen groups in a sediment core taken from the Central Highlands of Madagascar. The data are used to interpret past climate conditions in the tropical region of SE Africa , particularly hydrclimate changes in Madagascar, which relate to atmospheric circulation patterns. The data covers the period from 26.0000  before present to present.

Data are provided in one spreadsheet (xlsx) file with four tabs containing:
Bulk geochemistry data (δ¹³Corg, Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Total Nitrogen (TN), C/N ratio) against core depth and age.
Leaf wax alkane abundances (C23, C25 C27, C29, C31, C33) against depth and age.
Leaf wax hydrogen isotope data with standard deviations (δD17, δD19, δD21, δD23, δD25 δD27, δD29, δD31,δD33) against depth and age.
Percentages of pollen group (Ericaceae, Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Other tree and shrubs, Other herbs, Ferns, Aquatic plant, Fungii, Algae) against depth and age.
