10 pages, 5 figures, 5 tables Ongoing global warming is affecting the polar regions at a faster pace than in many other lower latitude environments. Based on the idea that the changes at the sea surface leave a signal in the sedimentary record, we analysed the total hydrolysable amino acid (THAA) an...
