Abstract

Abstract Shells of the extremely long-lived bivalve mollusk Arctica islandica (Linnaeus 1767) provide century-long, multi-proxy records of inter-annual environmental variability in middle- to high-latitude marine settings. Reliable interpretation of these climate archives, however, requires exact kn...
