The potential of Arctica islandica growth records to reconstruct coastal climate in north west Scotland, UK
This paper describes potential methods for reconstructing past marine environmental and climatic variability in Scottish coastal waters through the investigation of annual growth increments measured from shells of the long-lived marine bivalve Arctica islandica (L). This is accomplished by using a c...
