Climate conditions in the westernmost Mediterranean over the last two millennia: An integrated biomarker approach

► An integrated biomarker approach reveals climate conditions in the Alboran Sea over the last 2000 yrs. ► TEX86H temperatures are higher than inferred from U37K′, probably due to seasonality. ► BIT index indicates predominant marine provenance for the sedimentary organic matter. ► δ13C of long chain n-alkanes indicates predominant C3 plant contribution over last 2000 yrs. ► Long chain 1,14-diols suggest enhanced upwelling conditions during a positive mode of the NAO.
