Short summary

Site-level metadata from 328 paleoecological study sites in South Korea, compiled from 66 papers (2003–2023), address regional gaps in data availability in recent global syntheses. The dataset reflects various depositional environments studied over two decades with multi-proxy approaches and regional collaborations. The GeoEcoKorea online platform, developed alongside this dataset, aims to enhance the accessibility of Korean paleodata and promote FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) data sharing among researchers.
