dc.description.abstractA 70 kyr record of ?15N from the eastern Arabian Sea, Core AAS9/21 was investigated. High ?15N values during interglacials and low ?15N values during glacials are documented, which mimics the global ?15N records in the marginal ocean basins. However, during the Holocene, when the world�s Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) gradually retreated as seen from a decreasing trend in ?15N, we see a ?15N increase through the entire Holocene which is also seen in other northeastern Arabian Sea records. Higher ?15N values recorded in the core (AAS9/21) from beyond the OMZ depth than the core (AAS9/19) from within the OMZ, during the Holocene, suggests that intense denitrification occurred in the eastern Arabian Sea within the OMZ. Furthermore, U/Th ratios also suggest that the shallower core was bathed by anoxic waters during the entire Holocene. Conversely, the deeper core was bathed by oxic waters during Holocene as well as during MIS4. These observations suggest that the vertical extent of the OMZ was nearly the same throughout the Holocene.
