    Description: We present a climatology of the near-sea-surface temperature (NSST) anomaly and the sea-ice extent during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 23 000–19 000 years before present) mapped on a global regular 1∘×1∘ grid. It is an extension of the Glacial Atlantic Ocean Mapping (GLAMAP) reconstruction of the Atlantic NSST based on the faunal and floral assemblage data of the Multiproxy Approach for the Reconstruction of the Glacial Ocean Surface (MARGO) project and several recent estimates of the LGM sea-ice extent. Such a gridded climatology is highly useful for the visualization of the LGM climate, calculation of global and regional NSST averages, and estimation of the equilibrium climate sensitivity, as well as a boundary condition for atmospheric general circulation models. The gridding of the sparse NSST reconstruction was done in an optimal way using the Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis (DIVA) software, which takes into account the uncertainty in the reconstruction and includes the calculation of an error field. The resulting Glacial Ocean Map (GLOMAP) confirms the previous findings by the MARGO project regarding longitudinal and meridional NSST differences that were greater than today in all oceans. Taken at face value, the estimated global and tropical cooling would imply an equilibrium climate sensitivity at the lower end of the currently accepted range. However, because of anticipated changes in the seasonality and thermal structure of the upper ocean during the LGM as well as uneven spatial sampling, the estimated cooling and implied climate sensitivity are likely to be biased towards lower values.

    Description: Highlights • First granulometric record of Holocene Atlantic water inflow into Labrador Sea. • Good temporal correlation with North Atlantic current speeds and AMOC. • Highest current speeds in the early Holocene, lowest during the Neoglaciation. • Distinction between Atlantic water inflow and influence crucial for paleo-studies. • Local ice sheet advances in SW Greenland during “8.2”-event and Neoglaciation. Abstract The hydrodynamics of the Labrador Sea, controlled by the complex interplay of oceanographic, atmospheric and ice-sheet processes, play a crucial role for the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). An improved understanding of the hydrodynamics and its forcing in the past could therefore hold a key to understanding its future behaviour. At present, there is a remarkable temporal mismatch, in that the largely microfossil-based reconstructions of Holocene Atlantic-water inflow/influence in the Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay appear to lag grain size-based current strength reconstructions from the adjacent North Atlantic by 〉 2ka. Here, we present the first current strength record from the West Greenland shelf off Nuuk to reconstruct Atlantic Water (AW)-inflow to the Labrador Sea via the West Greenland Current. Our data show that the Holocene AW-inflow into Labrador Sea is well aligned with the Holocene Speed Maximum documented in the North Atlantic (McCave and Andrews, 2019; Quat. Sci. Rev. 223), suggesting a close coupling with the AMOC. The observed lag between the microfossil-based records and the Holocene Speed Maximum can be explained when considering the presence of an extended meltwater lens that prevented the shoaling of the inflowing Atlantic waters. Once the meltwater discharge waned after the cessation of large-scale melting of the surrounding ice sheets, the AW could influence the surface waters, independently of the strength of its inflow. Only then was an effective ocean-atmosphere heat transfer enabled, triggering the comparably late onset of the regional Holocene Thermal Maximum. Furthermore, sediment geochemical analyses show that short term cooling events, such as the 8.2 ka event related to the final drainage of glacial Lake Agassiz, lead to glacier advances of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Since the grain size data show that these events had no influence on the AW-inflow to the north eastern Labrador Sea, these advances must have been caused by atmospheric cooling. Consequently, we argue that (i) in this region, surface water-based proxies register AW influence rather than inflow (ii) the AW inflow into the Labrador Sea is controlled by the AMOC, but (iii) its impact on an effective ocean-atmosphere heat transfer was hindered by a prevailing meltwater lens in the early Holocene, i.e. until the cessation of large-scale melting of the surrounding ice sheets.

    Description: Core PS2757-6 was retrieved with a multicorer (MUC) on the Lomonosov Ridge next to the Russian continental shelf during the Polarstern expedition ARK-XI/1 in 1995. This expedition had the principal aim to study material fluxes and ecological connections between the Arctic Deep Basins and the adjacent Siberian shelf seas, the northern Laptev Sea and the northeastern Kara Sea. In 2018 and 2019, this core had samples analyzed by MC-ICPMS at the Geotop-UQAM laboratories for uranium-series isotopes with the aim to establish radiochronological age constraints for the coring location.

    Description: Holocene sea ice and palaeoenvironmental conditions were reconstructed using three sediment cores from northeastern Baffin Bay (GeoB19948-3 and GeoB19927-3) and the Labrador Sea (GeoB19905-1) along a north-south transect based on sea ice IP25 and open-water phytoplankton biomarkers (brassicasterol, dinosterol and HBI III). In Baffin Bay, sea-surface conditions in the Early Holocene were characterized by extended (early) spring sea ice cover (SIC) prior to 7.6 ka BP. The conditions in the NE Labrador Sea, however, remained predominantly ice-free in spring/autumn due to the enhanced influx of Atlantic Water (i.e., WGC; West Greenland Current) from 11.5 to ~9.1 ka BP, succeeded by a period of continued (spring-autumn) ice-free conditions from 9.1 to 7.6 ka BP corresponding to the onset of Holocene Thermal Maximum (HTM)-like conditions. A transition towards reoccurring ice-edge and significantly reduced SIC conditions in Baffin Bay is evident in the Mid Holocene (~7.6-3 ka BP) probably caused by the variations in the WGC influence associated with the ice melting and can be characterized as HTM-like conditions. These HTM-like conditions are predominantly recorded in the NE Labrador Sea area shown by (spring-autumn) ice-free conditions from 5.9-3 ka BP. In the Late Holocene (last ~3 ka), our combined proxy records from eastern Baffin Bay indicate low in-situ ice-algae production, however, enhanced multi-year (drifted) sea ice in this area was possibly attributed to the increased influx of Polar Water mass influx and may correlate with the Neoglacial cooling. The conditions in the NE Labrador Sea during the last 3 ka, however, continued to remain (spring-autumn) ice-free with decreased biological carbonate production probably linked to decreased WGC strength and/or increased Arctic Water influx, coinciding with the Neoglacial cooling.

    Description: The disintegrated, inorganic grain-size distribution of sediment core GeoB19905-1 was determined every ten centimetres (and in parts higher resolution) to decipher patterns of sediment input to and transport on the southern west Greenland shelf. Prior to measurement, organic matter, calcium carbonate and biogenic silica were chemically removed from the bulk sediment. Measurements were then performed using a Beckman Coulter Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyzer LS 13320.
