While there are numerous hypotheses concerning glacial–interglacial environmental and
climatic regime shifts in the Arctic Ocean, a holistic view on the Northern Hemisphere's late …

We review and synthesize the geologic record that constrains the sources of sea level rise
and freshwater discharge to the global oceans associated with retreat of ice sheets during …

The hypothesis of a km-thick ice shelf covering the entire Arctic Ocean during peak glacial
conditions was proposed nearly half a century ago. Floating ice shelves preserve few direct …

Reconstructing the growth and decay of palaeo-ice sheets is critical to understanding
mechanisms of global climate change and associated sea-level fluctuations in the past …

Salinity-driven density stratification of the upper Arctic Ocean isolates sea-ice cover and
cold, nutrient-poor surface waters from underlying warmer, nutrient-rich waters. Recently …

We present a sea-ice record from northern Greenland covering the past 10,000 years.
Multiyear sea ice reached a minimum between~ 8500 and 6000 years ago, when the limit of …

The Holocene thermal maximum was characterized by strong summer solar heating that
substantially increased the summertime temperature relative to preindustrial climate …

Abstract In the Northern Hemisphere, an insolation driven Early to Middle Holocene Thermal
Maximum was followed by a Neoglacial cooling that culminated during the Little Ice Age …

Paleo-sea-ice history in the Arctic Ocean was reconstructed using the sea-ice dwelling
ostracode Acetabulastoma arcticum from late Quaternary sediments from the Mendeleyev …

This review paper focusses on reconstructions of the long-and short-term history of past
Arctic Ocean sea-ice cover. Based on commonly used sedimentological, geochemical and …
