Abstract

In recent years, numerous new proxies have been developed for the reconstruction of past environmental conditions in the polar regions. In this review we focus on the selected methods that are used in the reconstruction of the Arctic marine paleoenvironments, i.e., organic (IP25 and PIP25 index, \({\text{U}}_{37}^{\text{K}}\) and \({\text{U}}_{37}^{\text{K'}}\) and GDGT palaeothermometry) and inorganic geochemical indices (Mg/Ca and fragmentation/dissolution analysis) as well as genetic (ancient DNA) and physical (XRF, magnetic susceptibility) proxies. A brief description of each of them is presented with example applications.
