• Biogeochemical evidence of anaerobic methane oxidation on active submarine mud volcanoes on the continental slope of the Canadian Beaufort Sea 

      Lee, Dong-Hun; Kim, Jung-Hyun; Lee, Yung Mi; Stadnitskaia, Alina; Jin, Young Keun; Niemann, Helge; Kim, Young-Gyun; Shin, Kyung-Hoon (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-20)
      In this study, we report lipid biomarker patterns and phylogenetic identities of key microbial communities mediating anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in active mud volcanoes (MVs) on the continental slope of the Canadian Beaufort Sea. The carbon isotopic compositions (δ13C) of sn-2- and sn-3-hydroxyarchaeol showed the highly 13C-depleted values (−114 ‰ to −82 ‰) associated with a steep depletion ...
    • Cyclostratigraphic age constraining for Quaternary sediments in the Makarov Basin of the western Arctic Ocean using manganese variability 

      Park, Kwangkyu; Kim, Jung-Hyun; Asahi, Hirofumi; Polyak, Leonid; Khim, Boo-Keun; Schreck, Michael; Niessen, Frank; Kong, Gee Soo; Nam, Seung-Il (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-26)
      The Quaternary paleoenvironmental history of the Arctic Ocean remains uncertain, mainly due to the limited chronological constraints, especially beyond the 14C dating limits of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). The difficulty in establishing reliable chronostratigraphies is mainly attributed to low sedimentation rates and diagenetic sediment changes, resulting in very poor preservation of ...
    • Glacial and environmental changes in northern Svalbard over the last 16.3 ka inferred from neodymium isotopes 

      Jang, Kwangchul; Ahn, Youngkyu; Joe, Young Jin; Braun, Carmen; Joo, Young Ji; Kim, Jung-Hyun; Bayon, Germain; Forwick, Matthias; Vogt, Christoph; Nam, Seung-Il (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-05)
      The reconstruction of past ice sheet extents and dynamics in polar regions is essential for understanding the global climate system and obtaining more reliable predictions of future climate change. Here, we present a multi-proxy dataset integrating the Nd isotopic compositions (εNd) of paired detrital and authigenic Fe oxide fractions, grain size distributions, organic geochemistry, and mineral ...
    • Global temperature calibration of the Long chain Diol Index in marine surface sediments 

      de Bar, Marijke W.; Weiss, Gabriella; Yildiz, Caglar; Rampen, Sebastiaan W.; Lattaud, Julie; Bale, Nicole J.; Mienis, Furu; Brummer, Geert-Jan A.; Schulz, Hartmut; Rush, Darci; Kim, Jung-Hyun; Donner, Barbara; Knies, Jochen; Lückge, Andreas; Stuut, Jan-Berend W.; Sinninghe Damsté, Jaap S.; Schouten, Stefan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-07)
      The Long chain Diol Index (LDI) is a relatively new organic geochemical proxy for sea surface temperature (SST), based on the abundance of the C<sub>30</sub> 1,15-diol relative to the summed abundance of the C<sub>28</sub> 1,13-, C<sub>30</sub> 1,13- and C<sub>30</sub> 1,15-diols. Here we substantially extend and re-evaluate the initial core top calibration by combining the original dataset with 172 ...
    • Neodymium isotope constraints on chemical weathering and past glacial activity in Svalbard 

      Jang, Kwangchul; Bayon, Germain; Han, Yeongcheol; Joo, Young Ji; Kim, Ji-Hoon; Ryu, Jong-Sik; Woo, Jusun; Forwick, Matthias; Szczuciński, Witold; Kim, Jung-Hyun; Nam, Seung-Il (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-15)
      <p>Neodymium (Nd) isotopes in leached authigenic components of marine sediments have been increasingly used as a tracer of past ocean-water masses. Despite the general assumption that the Nd isotopic composition of solutes released during chemical weathering fingerprints the source rocks on continents, preferential dissolution of easily dissolvable phases may result in significant deviations in Nd ...
    • Non-linear response of glacier melting to Holocene warming in Svalbard recorded by sedimentary iron (oxyhydr)oxides 

      Jang, Kwangchul; Bayon, Germain; Vogt, Christoph; Forwick, Matthias; Ahn, Youngkyu; Kim, Jung-Hyun; Nam, Seung-Il (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-01)
      The recent acceleration of ice-sheet loss with its direct impact on sea-level rise and coastal ecosystems is of major environmental and societal concern. However, the effect of atmospheric temperature increases on long-term glacier retreat remains poorly defined due to limited historical observations and uncertainties in numerical ice-sheet models, which challenges climate change adaptation planning. ...
    • Variations in benthic foraminiferal assemblages in the Tagus mud belt during the last 5700 years: Implications for Tagus River discharge 

      Dessandier, Pierre-Antoine; Bonnin, Jérôme; Malaizé, Bruno; Lambert, Clément; Tjallingii, Rik; Warden, Lisa; Sinninghe Damsté, Jaap S.; Kim, Jung-Hyun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-31)
      We analyzed a 10-m sediment core retrieved at 82 m water depth off the coast of the Tagus River (Western Iberian Margin, Portugal) to investigate a linkage between variations in benthic foraminiferal assemblages and Tagus River discharge over the last 5700 years. Benthic foraminiferal assemblages were studied at high resolution in combination with the stable carbon and oxygen isotopic composition ...
