| Zusammenfassung |
| During International Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 318, about 170 meters of Holocene core have been retrieved from Site U1357, near the Adélie Coast, East-Antarctica. This core provides a high resolution marine record of Holocene climate variability close to the Antarctic margin. Palynomorphs in this core are extremely well-preserved due to the high sedimentation rates of diatom ooze. One of these exceptionally well-preserved finds is the first account of cysts of a sea-ice dwelling suessoid dinoflagellate (Polarella glacialis). Furthermore, a new species of dinoflagellate cyst, large amounts of tintinnid loricae, copepod remains, and various kinds of unknown/undescribed acritarch species have been found. Although the composition of the palynomorphs assemblage is highly variable throughout the record, this record potentially gives insight into ecological and/or environmental changes in a polynya-controlled environment since the last deglaciation. For example, the dinocyst assemblage seems to indicate that the sea-ice season was shorter in the early Holocene. |
