Short summary
The presented study focuses on the last millennium of the palaeoclimatic history of Svalbard region. The investigation was based on classical palaeoceanographic proxies, strengthened by the analysis of ancient foraminiferal DNA in down-core sediment samples. This study is the first attempt to implement the aDNA record in the palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. The aDNA data revealed even small environmetal changes that were not evidenced in the sedimentological and micropalaeontological record.
