Data from the European Pollen Database

There are a number of different ways to find and access data in the European Pollen Database:

Fossil Pollen Database Viewer

Fossil Pollen Database Viewer (FPD) is the principal way to access EPD data on this website. With FPD you can find sites and data by country or investigator or site name, or by locating them on a map. After selecting a site you can examine or download the data as well as some summary metadata. Fossil Pollen Database has an extensive tool for visualising (graphing) taxa from one or more sites. It was developed by Nicolas Garnier at MEDIAS-France in close cooperation with the African Pollen Database, whose data can also be viewed using FPD.
