17O Excess from WAIS Divide, 0 to 25 ka BP, Version 1

This data set contains the VSMOW-SLAP d17O, d18O, and 17O-excess data from the WAIS Divide Ice Core Project, Siple Dome and Taylor Dome, along with the published and VSMOW-SLAP normalized d17O, d18O, and 17O-excess for Vostok [Landais et al. 2008], EPICA Dome C and Talos Dome [Winkler et al., 2012]. The data cover the Last Glacial Maximum (25-20 ka), through the Early Holocene (12-9 ka) and into present-day (past 2 kyr)
