    • Active Nordic Seas deep-water formation during the last glacial maximum 

      Larkin, Christina S.; Mohamed, Mohamed Mahmoud Ezat Ahmed; Roberts, Natalie L.; Bauch, Henning A.; Spielhagen, Robert F.; Noormets, Riko; Polyak, Leonid; Moreton, Steven G.; Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Sarnthein, Michael; Tipper, Edward T.; Piotrowski, Alex M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-24)
      The Nordic Seas are the primary location where the warm waters of the North Atlantic Current densify to form North Atlantic Deep Water, which plays a key part in the modern Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The formation of dense water in the Nordic Seas and Arctic Ocean and resulting ocean circulation changes were probably driven by and contributed to the regional and global climate of ...

    • Geophysical constraints on the dynamics and retreat of the Barents Sea ice sheet as a palaeobenchmark for models of marine icesheet deglaciation 

      Patton, Henry; Andreassen, Karin; Bjarnadóttir, Lilja Rún; Dowdeswell, J.A.; Winsborrow, Monica; Noormets, Riko; Polyak, Leonid; Auriac, A.; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-14)
      Our understanding of processes relating to the retreat of marine-based ice sheets, such as the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and tidewater-terminating glaciers in Greenland today, is still limited. In particular, the role of ice-stream instabilities and oceanographic dynamics in driving their collapse are poorly constrained beyond observational timescales. Over numerous glaciations during the Quaternary, ...

    • Holocene glacial history of Svalbard: Status, perspectives and challenges 

      Farnsworth, Wesley Randall; Allaart, Lis; Ingólfsson, Ólafur; Alexanderson, Helena; Forwick, Matthias; Noormets, Riko; Retelle, Michael J.; Schomacker, Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-29)
      We synthesize the current understanding of glacier activity on Svalbard from the end of the Late Pleistocene (12,000 yrs. before present) to the end of the Little Ice Age (<i>c.</i> 1920 AD). Our glacier history is derived from the SVALHOLA database, the first compilation of Holocene geochronology for Svalbard and the surrounding waters, including over 1,800 radiocarbon, terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide ...

    • Palaeoceanography of the Barents Sea continental margin, north of Nordaustlandet, Svalbard, during the last 74 ka 

      Chauhan, Teena; Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Noormets, Riko (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-17)
      We investigated gravity core HH11‐09GC from 488 m water depth at the northern Svalbard margin in order to reconstruct changes in Atlantic Water (AW) inflow to the Arctic Ocean. The study was based on the distribution patterns of benthic and planktic foraminifera, benthic and planktic oxygen and carbon isotopes, lithology and physical properties of the sediments. The core contains sediments from ...

    • Seasonal sea ice persisted through the Holocene Thermal Maximum at 80°N 

      Pieńkowski, Anna J.; Husum, Katrine; Belt, Simon T.; Ninnemann, Ulysses S; Köseoğlu, Denizcan; Divine, Dmitry V.; Smik, Lukas; Knies, Jochen; Hogan, Kelly; Noormets, Riko (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-15)
      The cryospheric response to climatic warming responsible for recent Arctic sea ice decline can be elucidated using marine geological archives which offer an important long-term perspective. The Holocene Thermal Maximum, between 10 and 6 thousand years ago, provides an opportunity to investigate sea ice during a warmer-than-present interval. Here we use organic biomarkers and benthic foraminiferal ...

    • Simulated last deglaciation of the Barents Sea Ice Sheet primarily driven by oceanic conditions 

      Petrini, Michele; Colleoni, Florence; Kirchner, Nina; Hughes, Anna L.C.; Camerlenghi, Angelo; Rebesco, Michele; Lucchi, Renata Giulia; Forte, Emanuele; Colucci, Renato R.; Noormets, Riko; Mangerud, Jan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-19)
      The Barents Sea Ice Sheet was part of an interconnected complex of ice sheets, collectively referred to as the Eurasian Ice Sheet, which covered north-westernmost Europe, Russia and the Barents Sea during the Last Glacial Maximum (around 21 ky BP). Due to common geological features, the Barents Sea component of this ice complex is seen as a paleo-analogue for the present-day West Antarctic Ice Sheet. ...
