Paleo-Seawater Uncertainty Solver

Code for paired foraminiferal δ¹⁸O-Mg/Ca data that provides simultaneous solutions and propagated uncertainty.

This code accepts foraminiferal Mg/Ca and δ¹⁸O measurements as input and uses a bootstrap Monte Carlo procedure to solve for seawater δ¹⁸O & temperature and also provides estimates of propagated uncertainty. For more information read the reference below.

Features:
- It can handle the influence of salinity on Mg/Ca variability
- Users can easily modify δ¹⁸O-Salinity-Temperature equations depending on local relationships
- Users have the ability to modify analytical uncertainty considerations
- It has four in-built sea-level(/ice-volume) curve correction options up till ~800 kyrs
