Changes in Holocene sea surface hydrology have been derived from a coral rich sediment core collected in the northeast Atlantic (BGS core 59-07/293, 59°43N; 06°29W, 282 m water depth). The downcore L. pertusa U-series chronology, which covers most of the Holocene period with a centennial temporal resolution, have been coupled with neodymium isotope measurements to document sea surface hydrology changes and more specifically the relative influence of subpolar and subtropical gyre (SPG and STG) waters to the study site. Large variations on the neodymium isotopic composition (eNd), with values ranging from -16.6 to -10.2 were documented, with a major transition between 5 ka and 6 ka. eNd values centred at -14.5 for the period from 8.2 ka to 6 ka suggest an enhanced east-west SPG elongation and strong outgrowth of Labrador Sea waters into the eastern Atlantic. In contrast, eNd values are centred at -12.5 during the period comprised between 2.1 ka and 5 ka suggesting a weaker influenced of SPG waters. Superimposed on this major feature, large shifts in eNd values are also reported highlighting potential abrupt hydrological changes that could be associated with Holocene climatic anomalies. Finally, at 2.1 ka there is a major shift with less negative eNd values, which appears correlated with the apparent demise of coral on that site.
