The Arctic Ocean is one of the world’s most remarkable regions with respect to global climate change. The core ARA09C-St03 was analyzed for mineral composition and Nd isotope to determine the sediment provenance and reconstruct the paleoenvironment in the inner slope of the Chukchi Rise. Core ARA09C-St03 represents overall cycles of brown and gray color with three distinct dark brown layers and two pinkish-white layers and is divided into eight sedimentary units based on the lithological feature. The core has a continuous record of the late marine isotope stage (MIS) 5 to the Holocene and in particular provides a particularly high-resolution record from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Sediment is derived mainly from the adjacent East Siberian Sea and the North American region, and changes in sediment provenance are controlled by climate-dependent particle size. During the glacial/stadial periods, sediments in Units 3, 5, and 8 were supplied by the East Siberian Sea via meltwater-derived suspension. The major ice-rafted debris (IRD) events in Units 2, 4, and 7, characterized by abundant dolomite and K/C ratio, were sourced from North America. The North America-derived materials reflect the initiation and disintegration of the Laurentide Ice Sheet and icebergs transported them across the open Arctic Ocean. The differences in provenance within these periods may be related to the scale of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Interglacial sediments, including those from Units 1 and 6, are of mixed origin from Eurasia and the Canadian Archipelago and may have been transported by oceanic current and seasonal sea ice. These periods are likely associated with the negative Arctic Oscillation (AO) intensifying the Beaufort Gyre.
