Sr/Ca in shells of laboratory-grown bivalves (Arctica islandica) serves as a proxy for water temperature – implications for (paleo)environmental research?

Seawater temperature is an essential quantity for paleoclimatological and paleoecological studies. A potential archive that can provide century-long, temporally well-constrained and high-resolution temperature proxy data is available in the form of bivalve shells. However, the number of well-accepte...
