High-resolution environmental proxy data from the extratropical North Atlantic prior to the
instrumental era are of critical importance to decipher processes and mechanisms of global …

A multicentennial and absolutely-dated shell-based chronology for the marine environment
of the North Icelandic Shelf has been constructed using annual growth increments in the …

The lack of high resolution, geographically diverse proxy records from the marine realm
limits our understanding of climate dynamics in the North Atlantic Ocean and Arctic during …

Mollusks are among the most diverse and abundant animal groups, inhabiting many aquatic
and terrestrial environments. They are important ecosystem engineers, helping to structure …

In this study, we use subannually resolved oxygen isotope values of fossil (dead-collected)
and modern (live-caught) bivalve shells (Arctica islandica L.) from the northwestern Atlantic …

Zooplankton fecal pellet flux is a highly variable component of the biological carbon pump.
While fecal pellets can comprise 0 to nearly 100% of particulate organic carbon collected in …

Bivalve shells are increasingly used as archives for high-resolution paleoclimate analyses.
However, there is still an urgent need for quantitative temperature proxies that work without …

Absolutely dated, annually resolved sea surface temperature records from middle to higher
latitudes covering long time intervals are crucial to better understand the climate system …

Trace element time-series in bivalve mollusk shells and other (biogenic) materials can
potentially serve as environmental proxies. Yet, the applicability of element-to-calcium ratios …

Environmental information can be extracted from bivalve shell geochemistry. In this review,
the latest research progress and the existing problems as well as the focus of future …
