• An assessment of biomarker-based multivariate classification methods versus the PIP25 index for paleo Arctic sea ice reconstruction 

      Koseoglu, Denizcan; Belt, Simon T.; Husum, Katrine; Knies, Jochen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-30)
      The development of various combinative methods for Arctic sea ice reconstruction using the sympagic highly-branched isoprenoid (HBI) IP<sub>25</sub> in conjunction with pelagic biomarkers has often facilitated more detailed descriptions of sea ice conditions than using IP<sub>25</sub> alone. Here, we investigated the application of the Phytoplankton-IP<sub>25</sub> index (PIP<sub>25</sub>) and a ...
    • Complementary biomarker-based methods for characterising Arctic sea ice conditions: A case study comparison between multivariate analysis and the PIP25 index 

      Koseoglu, Denizcan; Belt, Simon T.; Smik, Lukas; Yao, Haoyi; Panieri, Giuliana; Knies, Jochen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-10)
      The discovery of IP25 as a qualitative biomarker proxy for Arctic sea ice and subsequent introduction of the so-called PIP25 index for semi-quantitative descriptions of sea ice conditions has significantly advanced our understanding of long-term paleo Arctic sea ice conditions over the past decade. We investigated the potential for classification tree1 (CT) models to provide a further approach ...
    • Nordic Seas polynyas and their role in preconditioning marine productivity during the Last Glacial Maximum 

      Knies, Jochen; Koseoglu, Denizcan; Rise, Leif; Baeten, Nicole; Bellec, Valerie K; Bøe, Reidulv; Klug, Martin; Panieri, Giuliana; Jernas, Patrycja Ewa; Belt, Simon T. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-27)
      Arctic and Antarctic polynyas are crucial sites for deep-water formation, which helps sustain global ocean circulation. During glacial times, the occurrence of polynyas proximal to expansive ice sheets in both hemispheres has been proposed to explain limited ocean ventilation and a habitat requirement for marine and higher-trophic terrestrial fauna. Nonetheless, their existence remains equivocal, ...
