      Many Arctic marine-terminating glaciers have undergone rapid retreats in recent decades. Seasonal and year-to-year variations in terminus position act on all tidewater glaciers, but the key controls on those changes vary from region to region. Here, we examined seasonal and decadal changes in termini positions of seven tidewater glaciers in the inner part of Hornsund, the southernmost fjord of ...

      A 1:10,000 scale bathymetric map as well as 1:20,000 scale backscattering and geomorphological maps of two bays Isbjørnhamna and Hansbukta in the Hornsund fjord (Spitsbergen) present the submarine relief that was primarily formed during and after the retreat of the Hansbreen tidewater glacier. Geomorphological mapping was performed using multibeam bathymetric data and seismoacoustic profiling. The ...
    • Variability in transport of terrigenous material on the shelves and the deep Arctic Ocean during the Holocene 

      Wegner, C.; Bennet, K.; Vernal, Anne de; Forwick, Matthias; Fritz, M.; Heikkilä, Maija; Łącka, Magdalena; Lantuit, Hugues; Laska, Michał; Moskalik, Mateusz; O’Regan, Matt; Pawłowska, J; Promińska, Agnieszka; Rachold, Volker; Vonk, Jorien E.; Werner, Kirstin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-12-09)
      Arctic coastal zones serve as a sensitive filter for terrigenous matter input onto the shelves via river discharge and coastal erosion. This material is further distributed across the Arctic by ocean currents and sea ice. The coastal regions are particularly vulnerable to changes related to recent climate change. We compiled a pan-Arctic review that looks into the changing Holocene sources, transport ...
