Variability of marine climate on the North Icelandic Shelf in a 1357-year proxy archive based on growth increments in the bivalve Arctica islandica
Paul G. Butler,Alan D. Wanamaker,James D. Scourse,Christopher A. Richardson,David J. Reynolds +4 more
TL;DR: A multicentennial and absolutely-dated shell-based chronology for the marine environment of the North Icelandic Shelf has been constructed using annual growth increments in the shell of the long-lived bivalve clam Arctica islandica.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine 14C reservoir ages for 19th century whales and molluscs from the North Atlantic
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present reservoir ages from dating 21 whales collected 1860-1901 and recalculating dates of 23 molluscs collected 1857-1926.
Journal ArticleDOI
The curse of physiology—challenges and opportunities in the interpretation of geochemical data from mollusk shells
TL;DR: The present paper reviews examples from the literature, and unpublished data on how physiology influences geochemical proxy records from mollusk shells, and presents methods how to eliminate such adverse effects.

Very Long-Lived Mollusks Confirm 17th Century AD Tephra-Based Radiocarbon Reservoir Ages for North Icelandic Shelf Waters
Alan D. Wanamaker,Jan Heinemeier,James D. Scourse,Christopher A. Richardson,Paul G. Butler,Jón Eiríksson,Karen Luise Knudsen +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided data that corroborate Δ R values derived from these sediment archives, and they sampled the youngest portion (ontogenetic age) of a bivalve shell for radiocarbon analysis, which was collected alive in 2006 from the north Icelandic shelf in ~80 m water depth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bivalve models of aging and the determination of molluscan lifespans
TL;DR: Seasonal food shortage experienced by benthic filter feeding bivalves in polar and temperate seas may mimic caloric restriction in vertebrates, and bivalve models are applicable models for testing the implication of heterozygosity of multiple genes for physiological tolerance, adaptability, and life expectancy.

INTCAL98 Radiocarbon Age Calibration, 24,000-0 cal BP
Minze Stuiver,Paula J. Reimer,Edouard Bard,J.W Beck,George S. Burr,Konrad A Hughen,Bernd Kromer,Gerry McCormac,Johannes van der Plicht,Marco Spurk +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the conversion of radiocarbon ages to calibrated (cal) ages for the interval 24,000-0 cal BP (Before Present, 0 cal BP = AD 1950) is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectrum estimation and harmonic analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a local eigenexpansion is proposed to estimate the spectrum of a stationary time series from a finite sample of the process, which is equivalent to using the weishted average of a series of direct-spectrum estimates based on orthogonal data windows to treat both bias and smoothing problems.

Methods of Dendrochronology - Applications in the Environmental Sciences
Edward R. Cook,L. A. Kairiukstis +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a historical background on Dendrochronology, including primary data, data analysis, and methods of calibration, verification, and reconstruction of tree rings.
Little Ice Age
TL;DR: The Neoglacial period as discussed by the authors is the most extensive recent period of mountain glacier expansion and is conventionally defined as the 16th-mid 19th century period during which European climate was most strongly impacted.

Oxygen and carbon isotope fractionation in biogenic aragonite: temperature effects
TL;DR: In this paper, stable-isotopic analyses have been performed on live and modern specimens of aragonitic foraminifera, gastropods and scaphopods.
