Annually resolved North Atlantic marine climate over the last millennium
Owing to the lack of absolutely dated oceanographic information before the modern instrumental period, there is currently significant debate as to the role played by North Atlantic Ocean dynamics in previous climate transitions (for example, Medieval Climate Anomaly-Little Ice Age, MCA-LIA). Here we present analyses of a millennial-length, annually resolved and absolutely dated marine δ18O arch...
متن کاملMarine climate in the Irish Sea: analysis of a 489-year marine master chronology derived from growth increments in the shell of the clam Arctica islandica
We demonstrate here that the growth increment variability in the shell of the long-lived bivalve mollusc Arctica islandica can be interpreted as an indicator of marine environmental change in the climatically important North Atlantic shelf seas. Multi-centennial (up to 489-year) chronologies were constructed using five detrending techniques and their characteristics compared. The strength of th...
متن کاملVery Long-lived Mollusks Confirm 17th Century Ad Tephra-based Radiocarbon Reservoir Ages for North Icelandic Shelf Waters
Marine sediment records from the north Icelandic shelf, which rely on tephrochronological age models, reveal an average ΔR (regional deviation from the modeled global surface ocean reservoir age) of approximately 150 yr for the last millennium. These tephra-based age models have not hitherto been independently verified. Here, we provide data that corroborate ΔR values derived from these sedimen...
متن کاملLong-term stability of δC with respect to biological age in the aragonite shell of mature specimens of the bivalve mollusk Arctica islandica
a r t i c l e i n f o The stable carbon isotope ratio in bivalve shells (δ 13 C S) is an enigmatic geochemical archive whose interpretation is often frustrated by the intrusion of variable and unpredictable vital effects which can influence the mix of metabolic and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the shell material. The impacts of vital effects and rapid changes in calcification rates on th...
متن کاملCentennial records of lead contamination in northern Atlantic bivalves (Arctica islandica).
In the study, we establish centennial records of anthropogenic lead pollution at different locations in the North Atlantic (Iceland, USA, and Europe) by means of lead deposited in shells of the long-lived bivalve Arctica islandica. Due to local oceanographic and geological conditions we conclude that the lead concentrations in the Icelandic shell reflect natural influxes of lead into Icelandic ...
