Shells of the bivalve Arctica islandica serve as high-resolution archive of past environmental conditions. Stable oxygen isotopes (δ18O) values from wellpreserved A. islandica shells are frequently used as a proxy for water temperature (and salinity). Hence, this species may improve distinctly our u...
