Nature 500: 440-444, doi:10.1038/nature12376 (2013). 4) Development of the WD2014 timescale is described in: Buizert, C. et al., The WAIS-Divide deep ice core WD2014 chronology -- Part 1: Methane synchronization (68-31 ka BP) and the gas age-ice age difference.

Climate of the Past, 11: 153-173, doi:10.5194/cp-11-153-2015 (2015). All isotope data (d18O) in per mil, normalized to the IAEA VSMOW/SLAP scale. See Schoenemann et al., doi:10.1002/rcm.6486 (2014), for discussion of isotope-ratio normalization methods.

Precision and accuracy <0.1 and <1 per mil for d18O and dD respectively. All ages are given in years before 1950.0 C.E. (A.D.) on the WD2014 timescale.
