• Paleoceanography of the NE North Atlantic during the Holocene 

      Groot, Diane (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-09-26)
      This thesis aimed at enhancing our understanding of the oceanographic variability of the Nordic Seas during the last 11,000 years. The Nordic Seas are a key area within the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a process which helps to maintain the present mild climate of northwestern Europe through its meridional heat transport and plays an important role in global heat distribution. ...
    • 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. ...
