| Abstract | The Arctic Ocean has experienced a significant loss in sea-ice coverage since the 1970s, with impacts on marine ecosystems, weather patterns, and economic activities such as fishing, shipping, and resource exploration. Understanding how Arctic sea-ice conditions have varied in the past provides valuable insights into natural patterns in ice coverage and helps refine scientific models used to project future ice cover. This project will investigate Arctic sea-ice cover during past warm periods in |
