Determining the response of sites within the Arctic Circle to long-term climatic change remains an essential pre-requisite for assessing the susceptibility of these regions to future global warming and Arctic amplification. To date, existing records... Read More about A combined oxygen and silicon diatom isotope record of Late Quaternary change in Lake El'gygytgyn, North East Siberia.

Diatom silica is a form of biogenic opal (SiO2.nH2O, Figure 1) containing oxygen, silicon, carbon and nitrogen isotopes that can be used in lacustrine and marine paleoenvironmental studies. Since diatoms bloom following a seasonal pattern defined par... Read More about Stable isotopes from diatom silica.
