definition: The International Paleoclimate Database (Internationale Palaeoklima-Datenbank) holds a collection of paleoclimate proxy data including all climate indicators available from the international literature over the Quaternary. All data are stored in a relational database, critically analysed and quantified in relation to the paleoclimate. The system is developed and maintained by a staff of 5 scientists within a project framework, headed by Prof. Dr. Dr. B. Frenzel. Cooperation exists between PKDB and other climate related databases in Germany (e.g. at DKRZ, AWI, DWD, and DLR). The PKDB is a German contribution to the terrestrial part of the International Geosphere Biosphere Program / Past Global Changes (IGBP/PAGES).
