Sedimentary sea-ice proxies in the Arctic: seasonal production, vertical export and taxonomic insights
Arctic sea-ice cover is decreasing at an alarming rate with severe consequences for ecosystems across the Arctic and the climate system globally. The changes observed in the ice cover amplify global climate warming by decreasing the ice-albedo effect and may alter ocean circulation and weather patte...

Arctic sea-ice cover is decreasing at an alarming rate with severe consequences for ecosystems across the Arctic and the climate system globally. The changes observed in the ice cover amplify global climate warming by decreasing the ice-albedo effect and may alter ocean circulation and weather patterns. The loss of sea ice is likely to increase primary production in the Arctic, leading to drastic changes in marine food webs and biodiversity at all trophic levels. For over four decades, satellite imagery has provided high-resolution spatial and temporal understanding of changing Arctic sea-ice cover. However, the paucity of any human observations of Arctic sea ice beyond a few centuries limits our understanding of the current trajectory and its implications for ecosystems and the global climate. Marine sediments provide a natural archive of past sea-ice variability over timescales from centuries to millions of years. Commonly used sedimentary sea-ice proxies are biogenic: (sub)fossil remains and biogeochemical tracers originating from micro-organisms inhabiting sea ice (sympagic), or ice-associated under-ice and ice-edge ecosystems. State-of-the-art sea-ice reconstructions typically use diatoms, resting stages (cysts) of dinoflagellates and the highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) lipids IP25, IPSO25, HBI III and HBI IV, which are synthetized by certain diatom species.
