      Seidenkrantz, Marit-Solveig; Kuijpers, Antoon; Sørensen, Steffen Aagaard; Lindgreen, Holger; Olsen, Jesper; Pearce, Christof (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-21)
      The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 23–19,000 year BP) designates a period of extensive glacial extent and very cold conditions on the Northern Hemisphere. The strength of ocean circulation during this period has been highly debated. Based on investigations of two marine sediment cores from the Davis Strait (1033 m water depth) and the northern Labrador Sea (2381 m), we demonstrate a significant influx ...
    • Ventilation history of Nordic Seas overflows during the last (de)glacial period revealed by species-specific benthic foraminiferal 14C dates 

      Mohamed, Ezat M.; Rasmussen, Tine L.; Thornalley, David J.R.; Olsen, Jesper; Skinner, Luke C.; Hönisch, Bärbel; Groeneveld, Jeroen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-10)
      Formation of deep water in the high‐latitude North Atlantic is important for the global meridional ocean circulation, and its variability in the past may have played an important role in regional and global climate change. Here we study ocean circulation associated with the last (de)glacial period, using water‐column radiocarbon age reconstructions in the Faroe‐Shetland Channel, southeastern Norwegian ...
    • Younger Dryas ice margin retreat in Greenland: new evidence from southwestern Greenland 

      Funder, Svend; Sørensen, Anita H. L.; Larsen, Nicolaj K.; Bjørk, Anders A.; Briner, Jason P.; Olsen, Jesper; Schomacker, Anders; Levy, Laura B.; Kjær, Kurt H. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-04)
      To date the final stage in deglaciation of the Greenland shelf, when a contiguous ice sheet margin on the inner shelf transitioned to outlet glaciers in troughs with intervening ice-free areas, we generated cosmogenic <sup>10</sup>Be dates from bedrock knobs on six outlying islands along a stretch of 300 km of the southwestern Greenland coast. Despite <sup>10</sup>Be inheritance influencing some ...
