Antarctic marine calcifying organisms are threatened by regional climate change and ocean acidification. Future projections of regional carbonate production are challenging due to the lack of historical data combined with complex climate variability. We present a six-year record of flux, morphology, and geochemistry of an Antarctic planktonic foraminifera, which shows that their growth is most sensitive to sea-ice dynamics, and is linked with the El Niño Southern Oscillation.
