SluiJS1, J. barke1 and h. brinkhuiS1 Laboratory of Palaeobotany and Palynology, Institute of Environmental Biology, Utrecht University, Netherlands; f.sangiorgi@uu.nl 2 Department of Marine Biogeochemistry and Toxicology, Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, Texel, Netherlands Palynological analyses performed on long sedimentary records from the crest of the Lomonosov Ridge (Arctic Ocean) indicates that the Arctic developed from a warmer-than-expected, semi-isolated, shallow, freshwater dominated, eutrophic basin during the early Paleogene, to a sea-ice and iceberg dominated ocean during most of the Neogene. During the Eocene, the environmental changes were orbitally paced, with a biological response strongly affected by obliquity.
