Resources

The SPECIAL research group has led or contributed to numerous initiatives that have produced scientific resources. The outputs are openly available, for use with proper citation.

The datasets maintained by the SPECIAL group include:

  • PMIP2 diagnostic for mid-Holocene precipitation over northern Africa
  • SISAL (Speleothem Isotopes Synthesis and AnaLysis Working Group) database
  • EMBSeCBIO modern pollen biomisation
  • Modern Pollen Data for Climate Reconstructions, version 1 (SMPDS)
  • BIOME 6000 vegetation reconstructions
  • The China plant trait database
  • A new multi-variable benchmark for Last Glacial Maximum climate simulations
  • The climatic space of European pollen taxa
  • Fossil pollen data for climate reconstructions from El Cañizar de Villarquemado
  • SPECIAL European pollen database
