• A Continuous Seismostratigraphic Framework for the Western Svalbard-Barents Sea Margin Over the Last 2.7 Ma: Implications for the Late Cenozoic Glacial History of the Svalbard-Barents Sea Ice Sheet 

      Alexandropoulou, Nikolitsa; Winsborrow, Monica; Andreassen, Karin; Plaza-Faverola, Andreia; Dessandier, Pierre-Antoine; Mattingsdal, Rune; Baeten, Nicole; Knies, Jochen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-14)
      Here we present a high-resolution, continuous seismostratigraphic framework that for the first time, connects the over 1,000 km long western Svalbard-Barents Sea margin and covers the last ∼2.7 million years (Ma). By exploiting recent improvements in chronology, we establish a set of reliable age fix-points from available boreholes along the margin. We then use a large 2-D seismic database to extend ...
    • The extreme yet transient nature of glacial erosion 

      Patton, Henry; Hubbard, Alun; Heyman, J.; Alexandropoulou, Nikolitsa; Lasabuda, Amando P. E.; Stroeven, A.P.; Hall, A.M.; Winsborrow, Monica; Sugden, David E.; Kleman, J.; Andreassen, Karin Marie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-30)
      Ice can sculpt extraordinary landscapes, yet the efficacy of, and controls governing, glacial erosion on geological timescales remain poorly understood and contended, particularly across Polar continental shields. Here, we assimilate geophysical data with modelling of the Eurasian Ice Sheet — the third largest Quaternary ice mass that spanned 49°N to 82°N — to decipher its erosional footprint during ...
    • A time-transgressive perspective of glacial erosion and meltwater beneath the Eurasian ice sheet 

      Patton, Henry Jared; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd; Heyman, Jakob; Alexandropoulou, Nikolitsa; Lasabuda, Amando P. E.; Stroeven, Arjen P; Hall, Adrian; Winsborrow, Monica Caroline Mackay; Sugden, David A.; Kleman, Johan; Shackleton, Calvin; Da Silveira Ramos Esteves, Mariana; Bjarnadóttir, Lilja Rún; Andreassen, Karin Marie (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2023-08)
      The efficacy and controls governing glacial erosion over geological timescales are intricately linked yet remain poorly understood and contended. By assimilating geophysical data with modelling of the Eurasian Ice Sheet - the third largest Quaternary ice mass that spanned 49°N - 82°N - we decipher its erosional footprint during the last ~110 ka glacial cycle. Our results demonstrate extreme ...
