How have we impacted the seas around us? and for how long? This series of papers use a wide array of multidisciplinary approaches to address these questions. Super proud to be part of this special issue.!!

Newly dated permafrost deposits and their paleoecological inventory reveal an Eemian much warmer than today in Arctic Siberia

Abstract. In this study, we integrate geochronological, cryolithological, paleoecological, and modeling data to reconstruct the Last Interglacial (LIG) climate around the New Siberian Islands, reveali...
