Sea ice and millennial-scale climate variability in the Nordic seas 90 kyr ago to present

The response of Arctic sea-ice to rapid climatic change in the past remains uncertain. Here, the authors use biomarkers and microfossils to reconstruct Arctic sea-ice changes over the past 90,000 years, and demonstrate millennial-scale variability.
