	abstract = {This study evaluates the potential of barnacles for paleoceanographic reconstruction and, in particular, of the Antarctic species Bathylasma corolliforme to reconstruct past under ice shelves Like other barnacle species, this Antarctic barnacle secretes a robust low-Mg calcite shell with distinct growth increments on the external surface indicating growth over a number of years (30-50 in samples studied here). The Bathylasma samples used in this study grew in the Ross Sea and became entrained at the grounding line of a coastal ice shelf in McMurdo Sound, offering potential as an archive of changing conditions in this difficult to access environment under the McMurdo ice shelf. Nine barnacle shells were subsampled at high resolution (60 pun) for delta(18)O and delta(13)C analysis. These samples were dated with (14)C and U-Th techniques, although the later did not yield useful age information due to open-system behaviour of barnacle calcite. Measured delta(18)O values indicate that Bathylasma calcifies close to equilibrium with ambient seawater. One older sample (approximate to 200 ka) has similar delta(18)O and delta(13)C values as the eight Holocene samples, suggesting that barnacle calcite is not prone to significant diagenesis in this setting. Apparent isotope equilibrium and lack of diagenesis make barnacles a promising archive for reconstruction of past ocean conditions. Cycles of delta(18)O observed within each sample sometimes correlate with the external growth ridges, but not always, and have amplitudes of typically 0.6 parts per thousand. This magnitude of variation suggests shell growth during a significant portion of the year. although it remains unclear whether growth continues throughout the year. However, the prominent growth bands suggest at least a signficant seasonal slowing in growth rate. Variations in barnacle delta(18)O within each plate and between plates are too large to be caused by temperature. and instead reflect changes in delta(18)O of the seawater, allowing some assessment of seawater salinity under the ice shelf. Salinities are lowered by addition of meltwaters, but the barnacle delta(18)O data suggest values do not go below 33 parts per thousand.. These data indicate that Bathylasma has potential as an archive of paleoclimate information for shallow/intermediate water depths and, in particular, for difficult to reach environments such as below ice-shelves of Antarctica.

	abstract = {The chronology of late-glacial and Holocene ice fluctuations in East Greenland is important for documenting glacier response to climate change and for determining the mechanisms behind abrupt climate switches. Raised marine sediments and landforms suggest culmination of the late-glacial Milne Land Stade in Schuchert Dal alongside Scoresby Sund before similar to 11,900-12,300 cal yr B.P. Ice in Schuchert Dal apparently receded during the later part of the Younger Dryas, consistent with the idea that this period was characterized by strong seasonality. A stillstand or slight readvance probably interrupted overall recession just prior to 11,000 cal yr B.P. In many locations, ice was back close to present positions by the start of the Holocene. The most extensive glacier advance of the Holocene occurred during the Little Ice Age and was restricted to within a few kilometers of present-day ice margins. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

	abstract = {Thirty-eight new cosmogenic (Be-10) exposure ages from the Scoresby Sund region of east Greenland indicate that prominent moraine sets deposited by mountain glaciers date from 780 to 310 yr, approximately during the Little Ice Age, from 11660 to 10 630 yr, at the end of the Younger Dryas cold interval or during Preboreal time, and from 13 010 to 11630 yr, during lateglacial time. Equilibrium line altitudes (ELAs) interpreted from lateglacial to Early Holocene moraines indicate summertime cooling between similar to 3.9 and 6.6 degrees C relative to today{\textquoteright}s value, much less than the extreme Younger Dryas cooling registered by Greenland ice cores (mean-annual temperatures of similar to 15 degrees C colder than today{\textquoteright}s value). This apparent discrepancy between paleotemperature records supports the contention that Younger Dryas cooling was primarily a wintertime phenomenon. Be-10 ages of lateglacial and Holocene moraines show that mountain glaciers during the Little Ice Age were more extensive than at any other time since the Early Holocene Epoch. In addition, 10Be ages of lateglacial moraines show extensive reworking of boulders with cosmogenic nuclides inherited from prior periods of exposure, consistent with our geomorphic observations and cosmogenic-exposure dating studies in other Arctic regions.

The retreat of ice from the late-glacial position back into the mountains was accomplished by at least 11 000 cal years B.P.

These dates permit construction of a new relative sea-level curve that bears on the timing of deglaciation. Recession of the Ross Sea ice-sheet grounding line from Terra Nova Bay occurred no earlier than 7200 C-14 yr (8000 cal. yr) BP. Retreat along the Victoria Land coast may have been rapid, possibly contributing to eustatic sea-level rise centred at ca. 7600 cal. yr BP. The presence of a significant amount of ice remaining in the Ross Sea Embayment in Holocene time lessens the chance that Antarctica contributed significantly to meltwater pulse 1A several thousand years earlier.
