• Amino acid racemization in Quaternary foraminifera from the Yermak Plateau, Arctic Ocean 

      West, Gabriel; Kaufman, Darrell S; Muschitiello, Francesco; Forwick, Matthias; Matthiessen, Jens; Wollenburg, Jutta; O’Regan, Matt (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-18)
      Amino acid racemization (AAR) geochronology is a powerful tool for dating Quaternary marine sediments across the globe, yet its application to Arctic Ocean sediments has been limited. Anomalous rates of AAR in foraminifera from the central Arctic were reported in previously published studies, indicating that either the rate of racemization is higher in this area, or inaccurate age models were used ...
    • Exploring late Pleistocene bioturbation on Yermak Plateau to assess sea-ice conditions and primary productivity through the Ethological Ichno Quotient 

      Singh, Akanksha; O’Regan, Matt; Coxall, Helen K.; Forwick, Matthias; Löwemark, Ludvig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-13)
      Central Arctic, interglacial intervals have traditionally been associated with diverse and intense bioturbation, and abundant foraminifera, interpreted as indicating relatively low sea-ice concentrations and productive surface waters, while glacial intervals, typically barren, support the inverse. In this respect, the Yermak Plateau is anomalous. Biomarker studies suggest that glacial intervals were ...
    • 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 ...
