The SEAD relational database contains data essential to our understanding of past environmental and climatic changes, and the human relationship with these changes. The data in SEAD primarily takes the form of biological and chemical/physical proxy data, i.e. fossil frequencies and measured variables derived from soil samples taken from archaeological and natural deposits.
