Five assemblages are identified from Site 1098, which are correlated with the climatic zones identified previously in the Palmer Deep [Domack et al., 2001]. A Thalassiosira diatom assemblage characterizes the "deglaciation phase" (13.2-11.0 ka) and was deposited during glacial retreat at the end of the regional Last Glacial Maximum. A well-preserved Rhizosolenia assemblage was deposited during a "climatic reversal" (11.0-9.0 ka) and indicates periods of seasonally open water with diatom blooms. An open water Fragilariopsis kerguelensis assemblage characterizes the mid-Holocene climatic optimum (9.0-3.7 ka). In the Neoglacial (late Holocene, <3.7 ka), climatic cooling, increased sea ice cover, and increased wind are inferred from a Cocconeis assemblage. During the climatic optimum/Neoglacial transition (4.4-1.8 ka), laminae characterized by Corethron criophilum were preserved. It is uncertain whether the laminae represent short-lived (interannual) bloom events with high settling rates or have been deposited over longer time periods.completedQuaternary geologyalgaeAntarctic OceanAntarctic PeninsulaAntarcticaassemblagesCenozoiccluster analysisCocconeisCorethronCorethron criophilumdepositional environmentdiatomsfloral studiesFragilariopsis kerguelensisHolocenelast glacial maximumLeg 178microfossilsOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 1098paleoclimatologypaleoenvironmentPalmer DeepPlantaePleistocenepostglacial environmentQuaternaryRhizosoleniastatistical analysisThalassiosiraupper Pleistocenevariance analysisurn:org.iodp:exp:178urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:178:site:1098urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:178urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-77.3000-56.3000-77.0000-63.0000Antarctic Peninsulaapplication/pdfunknownSEDIS Publication Catalogueana.macario@awi.dehttp://sedis.iodp.org/pub-catalogue/informationpointOfContacthttp://www.agu.org/journals/pa/pa0202/2000PA000564/2000PA000564.pdfdownload
