Monte Carlo age modeling and oxygen isotope ice volume correction
SpeleoPy creates simple Monte Carlo age models- find and remove or extend the errors of dates out of stratigraphic order, interpolate data to get subsample ages, and examine successful and unsuccessful Monte Carlo simulations.
SpeleoPy also contains a 168,000 year sea level curve and ice volume correction factors to removing the ocean isotopic signal from your oxygen isotope records. The data is spliced from the following records:
