Abstract The distribution of dinoflagellate cyst (dinocyst) assemblages in surface sediment samples from 677 sites the northern North Atlantic, Arctic and sub‐Arctic seas is discussed with emphasis on relationships sea‐surface parameters, including sea‐ice cover, salinity temperature coldest warmest months. Difficulties developing a circum‐Arctic data base include morphological variation within taxa (e.g. Operculodinium centrocarpum , Islandinium ? cezare Polykrikos sp.), which probably...
Abstract Round, brown, spiny dinoflagellate cysts characterise many modern high‐latitude assemblages. Abundance is often highest where summer sea‐surface temperatures seldom exceed 7 °C and winter are around 0 °C, making this morphological group important for reconstructing cold intervals within marine Quaternary sequences. Our analysis of sediments from the Beaufort Sea Arctic Canada, Kara Laptev seas Russia, across Ocean, allows us to recognise new cyst genus Islandinium along with extant...
Abstract Although the permanently to seasonally ice-covered Arctic Ocean is a unique and sensitive component in Earth’s climate system, knowledge of its long-term history remains very limited due restricted number pre-Quaternary sedimentary records. During Polarstern Expedition PS87/2014, we discovered multiple submarine landslides along Lomonosov Ridge. Removal younger sediments from steep headwalls has led exhumation Miocene close seafloor. Here document presence IP 25 as proxy for spring...
Past sea-surface conditions over the northern North Atlantic during last glacial maximum were examined from study of 61 deep-sea cores. The time slice studied here corresponds to an interval between Heinrich layers H 2 and 1 , spanning about 20-16 ka on a 14 C scale. Transfer functions based dinocyst assemblages used reconstruct temperature, salinity, sea-ice cover. results illustrate extensive cover along eastern Canadian margins spreading, only winter, most Atlantic. On whole, much colder...
