Holocene multi-proxy and multi-core data set for Lake Kumphawapi in northern Thailand

Barbara Wohlfarth

Lithostratigraphy, radiocarbon dates, magnetic susceptibility, geochemistry, biomarkers, diatom counts and percentages, biogenic silica, grain size, major elements for three sediment cores from Lake Kumphawapi to reconstruct Holocene lake level changes and paleo-monsoon variability.
