Morphology and Holocene activity of a high-latitude canyon – channel system: The proximal Lofoten Basin channel system (Norwegian Sea)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-04-30)Canyon – channel systems have the potential to be biological and marine litter “hotspots”, and they can act as important carbon sinks. However, knowledge about the modern (Holocene) activity of many of these systems remains poor. This includes the high-latitude Andøya Canyon - Lofoten Basin Channel located in the Norwegian Sea (∼69oN). This study focuses on the proximal Lofoten Basin Channel and ... -
