marine records of LIG Arctic Sea Ice

qualitative and quantitative reconstructions of arctic sea ice (MIS5e) based on dinocysts, ostracod fauna, subpolar foraminifers, and IP25/PIP25, following de Vernal et al. (2013a, b, 2020); lack of quantitative information illustrated by question marks in the data set
