• Does Arctic warming reduce preservation of organic matter in Barents Sea sediments? 

      Faust, Johan Christoph; Stevenson, Mark A.; Abbott, Geoffrey D.; Knies, Jochen; Tessin, Allyson; Mannion, Isobel; Ford, Ailbe; Hilton, Robert; Peakall, Jeffrey; März, Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-31)
      Over the last few decades, the Barents Sea experienced substantial warming, an expansion of relatively warm Atlantic water and a reduction in sea ice cover. This environmental change forces the entire Barents Sea ecosystem to adapt and restructure and therefore changes in pelagic–benthic coupling, organic matter sedimentation and long-term carbon sequestration are expected. Here we combine new and ...
    • Geochemical characterisation of northern Norwegian fjord surface sediments: A baseline for further paleo-environmental investigations 

      Faust, Johan Christoph; Scheiber, Thomas; Fabian, Karl; Vogt, Christoph; Knies, Jochen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-26)
      Norwegian fjord sediments are promising archives for very high resolution records of past environmental changes. Recent investigations of the modern depositional environment within fjords revealed that the accurate quantification of the inputs, sources, and sedimentary preservation of organic and inorganic material is crucial to decipher long term past climate signals in the sedimentary record ...
    • Organic Matter Sources in North Atlantic Fjord Sediments 

      Faust, Johan Christoph; Knies, Jochen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-31)
      To better constrain the global carbon cycle fundamental knowledge of the role of carbon cycling on continental margins is crucial. Fjords are particularly important shelf areas for carbon burial due to relatively high sedimentation rates and high organic matter fluxes. As terrigenous organic matter is more resistant to remineralization than marine organic matter, a comprehensive knowledge of the ...
    • Rapid post-glacial bedrock weathering in coastal Norway 

      Andersen, Jane Lund; Margreth, Annina; Fredin, Ola; Linge, Henriette; Goodfellow, Bradley W.; Faust, Johan Christoph; Knies, Jochen; Solbakk, Terje; Brook, Edward J.; Scheiber, Thomas; van der Lelij, Roelant; Burki, Valentin Josef; Rubensdotter, Brita Lena Eleonor Fredin; Himmler, Tobias; Yesilyurt, Serdar; Christl, Marcus; Vockenhuber, Christof; Akcar, Naki (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-26)
      Quantifying bedrock weathering rates under diverse climate conditions is essential to understanding timescales of landscape evolution. Yet, weathering rates are often difficult to constrain, and associating a weathered landform to a specific formative environment can be complicated by overprinting of successive processes and temporally varying climate. In this study, we investigate three sites ...
