How good are dinocyst-inferred sea-ice reconstructions?

Dinocysts, the resting stage of dinoflagellates, have been used to reconstruct a range of palaeoceanographic variables, including summer and winter sea surface temperature (SST) and salinity, productivity and sea ice using transfer functions. I became interested in dinocysts as proxies … Continue reading
