Description
A temperature reconstruction based upon the dinoflagellate cyst and acritarch distribution within a sediment core extracted from Skalafjord, Faroe Islands (62°10.54'N, 6°47.94'W) was developed for the period 6350 BC to AD 1430. The author says that an "amelioration of climate conditions" with warmer sea surface temperatures prevailed between AD 830-1090, which "may encompass the Medieval Warm Period in the Faroe region."
