The research presented here constitutes the latest advances in the use of the Antarctic bivalve mollusc Aequiyoldia eightsii as a sclerochronological proxy for Antarctic coastal waters. A. eightsii has the potential to provide annually-resolved records for the Antarctic shallow waters beyond the beg...
