Millennial-scale variability of Atlantic water inflow in the northern Nordic Seas and the northwestern Barents Sea - Relationship to abrupt climate oscillations, cryosphere and methane seepage from the seafloor
El Bani Altuna, Naima (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-09-17)Climate change affects the Arctic to a greater extent than the global average, causing rapid sea-ice loss and changes in the inflow of warm Atlantic water in the Arctic. Arctic sediments host vast amounts of greenhouse gases in the form of gas hydrates (ice-like cages that trap gas within), that can be released to the seafloor if temperature increases and/or pressure decreases. Climate projections ...
