Abstract: The Iberian Peninsula, at North Atlantic mid-latitude and the western extreme of the European continent, is a relevant area for climate reconstructions. This work provides multi-proxy records measured in 7 inner-shelf sediment sequences from 5 sites located between South Portugal (Algarve) and Northwest Spain (Galiza) (36 to 42 ºN) and targets a regional reconstruction of climate variability during the last 2,000 yr.Alkenone derived Sea Surface Temperature (SST) reconstructions were compared to on-land precipitation given by higher plant n-alk...
