A high‐resolution Lateglacial and Holocene palaeoceanographic record from the Greenland Sea
We present an unprecedented multicentennial sediment record from the foot of V esterisbanken S eamount, central G reenland S ea, covering the past 22.3 thousand years (ka). Based on planktic foraminiferal total abundances, species assemblages, and stable oxygen and carbon isotopes, the palaeoenviron...

We present an unprecedented multicentennial sediment record from the foot of V esterisbanken S eamount, central G reenland S ea, covering the past 22.3 thousand years (ka).

Results show that during the L ast G lacial M aximum the area was affected by harsh polar conditions with only episodic improvements during warm summer seasons.
