What is Proxy Data

Chapter 285
Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Third Edition
Climate change assessments and evaluation should be done by using recorded observation data as well as prepared and provided proxy data. Paleoclimatologists (climatologists who study past – or paleo – climates) use the term “proxy” to describe a way that climate change is recorded in nature, within geological materials such as ocean or lake sediments, tree-rings, coral growth-bands, ice-cores, and cave deposits.
