Short summary
This study presents a global database of nitrogen isotope data from ancient ocean sediments, covering Earth's history from the present back to billions of years ago. The database includes over 71 000 nitrogen isotope records from 424 studies, along with essential geological context and related chemical data. This database will help reveal the mechanisms behind critical events like mass extinctions and major ocean changes, enhancing our understanding of Earth's long-term environmental processes.

The Deep-Time Marine Sedimentary Element Database (DM-SED) expands upon the Sedimentary Geochemistry and Paleoenvironments Project (SGP) database, totalling 63 627 entries and covering major and trace elements and some stable isotopes in ancient marine sediments. This database is not only a significant reference for reconstructing Earth's system evolution but is also a valuable resource for studying palaeo-environments, palaeo-climates, and geochemical cycles.

Coral skeletal records from the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) provide vital data on climate and environmental change. Presented here is the Great Barrier Reef Coral Skeletal Records Database, an extensive compilation of GBR coral records. The database includes key metadata, primary data, and access instructions, and it enhances research on past, present, and future climate and environmental variability of the GBR. The database will assist with contextualising present-day threats to reefs globally.

We present a dataset of 23032 fossil occurrences of marine organisms from the Late Miocene to the Early Pliocene (~11 to 3.6 million years ago) from the Mediterranean Sea. This dataset will allow us, for the first time, to quantify the biodiversity impact of the Messinian salinity crisis, a major geological event that possibly changed global and regional climate and biota.

We estimate an average (stack) of Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) sea surface climate records over the last 800 kyr from 10 ocean sediment cores. To better understand glacial–interglacial differences between the tropical WPWP and high-latitude climate change, we compare our WPWP stack to global and North Atlantic deep-ocean stacks. Although we see similar timing in glacial–interglacial change between the stacks, the WPWP exhibits less amplitude of change.

This paper focuses on volcanic ash (tephra) in European annually laminated (varve) lake records from the period 25 to 8 ka. Tephra enables the synchronisation of these lake records and their proxy reconstructions to absolute timescales. The data incorporate geochemical data from tephra layers across 19 varve lake records. We highlight the potential for synchronising multiple records using tephra layers across continental scales whilst supporting reproducibility through accessible data.

Accurately quantifying how the global hydrological cycle will change in the future remains challenging due to the limited availability of historical climate data from the tropics. Here we present the CoralHydro2k database – a new compilation of peer-reviewed coral-based climate records from the last 2000 years. This paper details the records included in the database and where the database can be accessed and demonstrates how the database can investigate past tropical climate variability.

Benthic foraminifera are key components of the ocean benthos and marine sediments. Determining their geographic distribution is highly relevant for improving our understanding of the recent and past ocean benthic ecosystem and establishing adequate conservation strategies. Here, we contribute to this knowledge by generating an open-access database of previously documented quantitative data of benthic foraminifera species from surface sediments of the eastern Pacific (BENFEP).

Short summary
Building on the foundation of Palynodata, the Global Acritarch Database (GAD) added 29 new fields, 4531 new entries, 2 238 366 new metadata points, and 415 new references, resulting in a database comprising 115 860 entries, 43 fields, 3 050 852 metadata points, and 7791 references. GAD represents records from 1146 different sampling sites spanning geological history from the Precambrian to the Phanerozoic, and the fossil records include 1456 genera and 9865 species (excluding sp.).
