| Here we provide three new Holocene (11-0 cal ka BP) alkenone-derived sea surface temperature (SST) records from the southernmost Chilean fjord region (50-53 degrees S). SST estimates may be biased towards summer temperature in this region, as revealed by a large set of surface sediments. The Holocene records show consistently warmer than present-day SSTs except for the past similar to 0.6 cal ka BP. However, they do not exhibit an early Holocene temperature optimum as registered further north off Chile and in Antarctica. This may have resulted from a combination of factors including decreased inflow of warmer open marine waters due to lower sea-level stands, enhanced advection of colder and fresher inner fjord waters, and stronger westerly winds.

| We present a new record of coccolithophore (coccoliths) export productivity for the past 30,000 years based on the study of a marine sediment core collected at the western entrance of the Strait of Magellan (Core MD07-3128; 53 degrees S, 75 degrees W). This sediment core revealed the presence of an assemblage composed by thirteen coccolithophore taxa, dominated by small Gephyrocapsa (> 80% of the total assemblage on the average) and accompanied, in less proportions (1-10%), by two morphotypes of Emiliana huxleyi, Coccolithus pelagicus and Calcidiscus leptoporus. Coccolith concentration and CaCO3 content were strongly correlated (P << 0.01; R-2 = 0.63). In general, both records were in phase with alkenone-derived sea-surface temperature (Caniupan... |
