TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that this cooling event was forced by a massive outflow of fresh water from the Hudson Strait, based on the estimates of the marine 14C reservoir for Hudson Bay which, in combination with other regional data, indicate that the glacial lakes Agassiz and Ojibway (originally dammed by a remnant of the Laurentide ice sheet) drained catastrophically ∼8,470 calendar years ago; this would have released >1014 m3 of freshwater into the Labrador Sea.

TL;DR: A compilation of paleoclimate records from lake sediments, trees, glaciers, and marine sediments provides a view of circum-Arctic environmental variability over the last 400 years.

TL;DR: In this paper, a spatio-temporal pattern of peak Holocene warmth (Holocene thermal maximum, HTM) is traced over 140 sites across the Western Hemisphere of the Arctic (0−180°W; north of ∼60°N).

TL;DR: In this article, the history of Arctic sea-ice conditions through the geologic past is investigated using proxy records from the Arctic Ocean floor and from the surrounding coasts, which indicate that sea ice became a feature of the Arctic by 47-Ma, following a pronounced decline in atmospheric pCO2 after the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Optimum, and consistently covered at least part of the arctic Ocean for no less than the last 13-14 million years.

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution sediment cores from the Voring Plateau, the North Iceland shelf, and the East Greenland shelf have been studied to investigate the stability of major surface currents in the Nordic Seas during the Holocene.
