• Reconstruction of Atlantic Water variability during the Holocene in the western Barents Sea 

      Groot, Diane; Sørensen, Steffen Aagaard; Husum, Katrine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-01-10)
      The gravity core JM09-KA11-GC from 345m water depth on the western Barents Sea margin was investigated for down-core distribution patterns of benthic Foraminifera, stable isotopes, and sedimentological parameters in order to reconstruct the flow of Atlantic water during the Holocene. The core site is located below the Atlantic water masses flowing into the Arctic Ocean and close to the Arctic front. ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-29)
      Despite the exclusion of the Southern Ocean from assessments of progress towards achieving the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Strategic Plan, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) has taken on the mantle of progressing eforts to achieve it. Within the CBD, Aichi Target 11 represents an agreed commitment to protect 10% of the global coastal and ...
    • Revised ΔR values for the Barents Sea and its archipelagos as a pre-requisite for accurate and robust marine-based 14C chronologies 

      Pienkowski, Anna; Husum, Katrine; Furze, Mark; Missana, Amandine F.J.; Irvali, Nil; Divine, Dmitry V.; Eilertsen, Vårin Trælvik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-11)
      The calibration of marine 14C dates requires the incorporation of regionally specific marine reservoir offsets known as ΔR, essential for accurate and meaningful inter-archive comparisons. Revised, regional ΔR (‘ΔRR’) values for the Barents Sea are presented for molluscs and cetaceans for the two latest iterations of the marine calibration curve, based on previously published pre-bomb live-collected ...
    • Sea ice and primary production proxies in surface sediments from a High Arctic Greenland fjord: Spatial distribution and implications for palaeoenvironmental studies 

      Ribeiro, Sofia; Sejr, Mikael K.; Limoges, Audrey; Heikkilä, Maija; Andersen, Thorbjørn Joest; Tallberg, Petra; Weckström, Kaarina; Husum, Katrine; Forwick, Matthias; Dalsgaard, Tage; Massé, Guillaume; Seidenkrantz, Marit-Solveig; Rysgaard, Søren (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-23)
      In order to establish a baseline for proxy-based reconstructions for the Young Sound–Tyrolerfjord system (Northeast Greenland), we analysed the spatial distribution of primary production and sea ice proxies in surface sediments from the fjord, against monitoring data from the Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring Programme. Clear spatial gradients in organic carbon and biogenic silica contents reflected ...
    • Seasonal sea ice persisted through the Holocene Thermal Maximum at 80°N 

      Pieńkowski, Anna J.; Husum, Katrine; Belt, Simon T.; Ninnemann, Ulysses S; Köseoğlu, Denizcan; Divine, Dmitry V.; Smik, Lukas; Knies, Jochen; Hogan, Kelly; Noormets, Riko (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-15)
      The cryospheric response to climatic warming responsible for recent Arctic sea ice decline can be elucidated using marine geological archives which offer an important long-term perspective. The Holocene Thermal Maximum, between 10 and 6 thousand years ago, provides an opportunity to investigate sea ice during a warmer-than-present interval. Here we use organic biomarkers and benthic foraminiferal ...
    • Semi-quantitative reconstruction of early to late Holocene spring and summer sea ice conditions in the northern Barents Sea 

      Berben, Sarah Miche Patricia; Husum, Katrine; Navarro-Rodriguez, Alba; Belt, Simon T.; Sørensen, Steffen Aagaard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-07)
      Semi-quantitative estimates of early to late Holocene spring sea ice concentration (SpSIC) andoccurrence of summer sea ice for the northern Barents Sea have been obtained by analysing the biomarkers IP<sub>25</sub>,brassicasterol and a tri-unsaturated highly branched isoprenoid lipid in a Holocene marine sediment core.Sub-surface water mass variations were derived from planktic foraminiferal assemblages ...
    • Still Arctic? — The changing Barents Sea

      The Barents Sea is one of the Polar regions where current climate and ecosystem change is most pronounced. Here we review the current state of knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological systems in the Barents Sea. Physical conditions in this area are characterized by large seasonal contrasts between partial sea-ice cover in winter and spring versus predominantly open water in summer and ...
    • Sub sea surface temperatures in the Polar North Atlantic during the Holocene: Planktic foraminiferal Mg/Ca temperature reconstructions 

      Sørensen, Steffen Aagaard; Husum, Katrine; Hald, Morten; Marchitto, Thomas; Godtliebsen, Fred (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Holocene sea surface temperatures in the eastern Fram Strait are reconstructed based on Mg/Ca ratios measured on the planktic foraminifer Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sin). The reconstructed sub sea surface temperatures (sSSTMg/Ca) fluctuate markedly during the earliest Holocene at ~11.7 and 10.5 kyr BP. This is probably in response to the varying presence of sea-ice and deglacial meltwater. Between ...
    • Surface water conditions and calcium carbonate preservation in the Fram Strait during marine isotope stage 2, 28.8–15.4 kyr 

      Zamelczyk, Katarzyna; Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Husum, Katrine; Godtliebsen, Fred; Hald, Morten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-01-14)
      We present a high-resolution record of calcium carbonate preservation alongside the distribution pattern of planktic foraminifera from the Fram Strait. The record covers the marine isotope stage (MIS) 2, 28.8 to 15.4 kyr, including the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the early deglaciation in multidecadal temporal resolution. The investigation is based on the distribution patterns of planktic ...
