Description :
The AA. discuss the significance of the Penny ice cap dust record in relation to the glacial and environmental history of the Canadian Arctic. Comparisons are made to the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) dust record in order to differentiate between regional and hemispheric influences on atmospheric dust deposition. This study further demonstrates how valuable records of regional-scale paleoenvironmental changes can be developed from circum-Artic ice caps, even those affected by considerable melt.
