Mapping recent sea ice conditions in the Barents Sea using the proxy biomarker IP25: implications for palaeo sea ice reconstructions

This article appears in the special issue "Sea Ice in the Paleoclimate System: the Challenge of Reconstructing Sea Ice from Proxies". It contains a set of papers addressing various sea ice proxies and their application to large scale sea ice reconstruction. It is a contribution by the Sea Ice Proxy (SIP) working group and is partly an outcome of a workshop held at GEOTOP in Montréal in March 2012.
