Short summary
Aeolian diatoms and dust in the Antarctic Roosevelt Island Climate Evolution project (RICE) ice core allow the reconstruction of atmospheric circulation and climate variability in the Eastern Ross Sea over the past 2 millennia. Since about 1470 CE and during the Little Ice Age, the site experienced a rapid atmospheric circulation reorganization related to the development of the Roosevelt Island polynya, the eastward protrusion of the Ross Sea polynya that significantly impacted the regional climate dynamics of the Ross Sea area.
