An analysis of diatom assemblages, Total Organic Carbon (TOC), carbon-nitrogen ratio, 13C, biogenic silica and carbonate in two marine sediment cores from Ellis Fjord, eastern Antarctica, reveals episodes of climatic change at 3600, 2500, 2000 and 1000 yr BP. Using the diatom data, principal compone...
