• Fluid flow and methane occurrences in the Disko Bugt area offshore West Greenland: indications for gas hydrates? 

      Nielsen, Tove; Laier, Troels; Kuijpers, Antoon; Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Mikkelsen, Naja E.; Nørgård-Pedersen, Niels (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2014-09-04)
      The present study is the first to directly address the issue of gas hydrates offshore West Greenland, where numerous occurrences of shallow hydrocarbons have been documented in the vicinity of Disko Bugt (Bay). Furthermore, decomposing gas hydrate has been implied to explain seabed features in this climate-sensitive area. The study is based on archive data and new (2011, 2012) shallow seismic and ...
    • Glacial-interglacial sedimentation control on gas seepage exemplified by Vestnesa Ridge off NW Svalbard margin 

      Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Nielsen, Tove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-08)
      Vestnesa Ridge is built-up of thick contourites mainly deposited during the last ∼5 million years. Methane leaks from deep gas reservoirs creating pockmarks on its crest, and which have been the focus of numerous studies. Sedimentation patterns in relation to the pronounced changes in oceanography and climate of the last glacial-interglacial cycles and its possible impact of seepage of gas have ...
    • Hydrate occurrence in Europe: A review of available evidence

      Large national programs in the United States and several Asian countries have defined and characterised their marine methane hydrate occurrences in some detail, but European hydrate occurrence has received less attention. The European Union-funded project “Marine gas hydrate – an indigenous resource of natural gas for Europe” (MIGRATE) aimed to determine the European potential inventory of exploitable ...
    • Northeast Greenland (79.4 °N): Ice-free shelf edge around the Last Glacial Maximum 25.5-17.5 ka 

      Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Pearce, Christof; Andresen, Katrine Juul; Nielsen, Tove; Seidenkrantz, Marit Solveig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-16)
      The size of the last glacial ice sheet on the Northeast (NE) Greenland shelf and its interaction with ocean circulation have been the subject of debate. Here we provide insights into the extent of the ice sheet around the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and investigate timing and strength of changes in the flow of Atlantic Water. The study is based on a multiproxy investigation of a marine sediment core, ...
    • Quaternary interaction of cryospheric and oceanographic processes along the central-east Greenland margin 

      Perez, Lara F.; Nielsen, Tove; Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Winsborrow, Monica (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-16)
      The east Greenland margin has been influenced by oceanographic and cryospheric processes since the late Miocene, when the southwards flow of the East Greenland Current (EGC) initiated and ice sheets first advanced across the margin. However, the relative importance of these processes, and their influence on the sedimentation of the margin through time remains poorly understood. High‐resolution ...
    • Reconstruction of ice sheet retreat after the Last Glacial maximum in Storfjorden, southern Svalbard 

      Nielsen, Tove; Rasmussen, Tine Lander (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-15)
      Storfjorden is a large north-south trending sound located in the southern part of Svalbard in the northwestern Barents Sea. Presently, several glaciers drain into the northern and western part of Storfjorden. Our study area covers the southern part of the sound, which is divided by a north-south striking basement ridge (the ‘Mid-ridge’) into a narrow western trough (‘Little-Storfjorden’) and a broader ...
    • Retreat patterns and dynamics of the former Norske Trough ice stream (NE Greenland): An integrated geomorphological and sedimentological approach 

      López-Quirós, Adrián; Junna, Tuomas; Davies, Joanna; Andresen, Katrine J.; Nielsen, Tove; Haghipour, Negar; Wacker, Lukas; Alstrup, Aage Kristian Olsen; Munk, Ole Lajord; Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Pearce, Christof; Seidenkrantz, Marit Solveig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-09)
      A better understanding of past extent and dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is required to provide context for present-day observations, to constrain numerical climate models and to predict future scenarios of ice-sheet response to recent climatic change. The presence of a grounded GrIS on the NE Greenland shelf during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is supported by high-resolution seismic ...
    • Water mass exchange between the Nordic Seas and the Arctic Ocean on millennial time scale during MIS 4–2 

      Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Thomsen, Erik; Nielsen, Tove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      The climate of the last glaciation circa 65,000–25,000 years ago was interrupted by about 15 abrupt temperature fluctuations, the so-called Dansgaard-Oeschger events consisting of warm interstadials and cold stadials recorded in Greenland ice cores. The largest fluctuations occur in the North Atlantic region, but they have been registered over the most of the world. The events are linked to changes ...
