The North Sea is one of the most heavily used seas in the world. Shipping, fishing and other anthropogenic activities have substantial effects on natural ecosystems, while also influencing the North Sea’s

strong influence of humans on the natural conditions. To understand the climate system prior to anthropogenic influence, we have to follow another path and employ methods of paleoclimatology. Proxies provide
