The response of the Polar Sea to Cretaceous carbon perturbations is poorly understood and palaeotemperature data from the Arctic are limited. To understand high latitude palaeoceanographic dynamics, dinocyst assemblages were collected from a composite Cenomanian to Campanian section from the Bastion...
