Palaeoclimatology

Core data from the Antarctic margin

Nature volume 470, pages 181–182 (2011)Cite this article

Subjects

Sediments at the edge of Antarctica are a largely unexploited source of information about climate change. They have now provided a valuable local record of sea surface temperatures for the past 12,000 years. See Letter p.250

The coastal areas of Antarctica are sites of strong air–sea–ice interactions that can affect the entire globe, but they remain the least-studied region on Earth with respect to climate variability. The paper by Shevenell et al. (page 250 of this issue1) is a good start in addressing that deficiency.
