We present a high resolution sedimentary record of dinoflagellate cysts spanning the last ~ 900 years.
Dinoflagellate cyst assemblages reflect past changes in SST, SSS and primary productivity in Effingham Inlet.
Record of MCA, LIA and 20th century warming on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
A dramatic increase in Operculodinium centrocarpum is observed since the mid-1950s.
The study provides further constraints on the local paleoseismicity over the last millennium.
