Conclusions: Glacial-to-Holocene -SDM displays mid- to high-latitude S. Pacific signal (ssNa) as well as Polar Plateau climate signal (nssCa) -SDM ssNa shows rise from Early-Holocene most likely from dominating role of ASL due to WAIS grounding line retreat in Ross Sea Embayment (Conway et al., 1999; Baroni & Hall, in review) -ssNa reaches highest levels in most recent ~500 years, even higher than LGM concentrations in contrast to GISP, TD, DC
