• The influence of Coriolis force driven water circulation on the palaeoenvironment of Hornsund (S Spitsbergen) over the last century 

      Pawłowska, Joanna; Zajączkowski, Marek; Szczuciński, Witold; Zaborska, Agata; Kucharska, Małgorzata; Jernas, Patrycja Ewa; Forwick, Matthias (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-22)
      The influence of the Coriolis force on the Hornsund fjord environment (southern Spitsbergen) was investigated in the marine sedimentary record from the last century. Due to the influence of the rotational effects, Atlantic and Arctic Water enter the fjord along the southern shore and exit along the northern shore. Thus, the sedimentary record from the southern part reflects the large‐scale hydrological ...
    • Multiproxy paleoceanographic study from the western Barents Sea reveals dramatic Younger Dryas onset followed by oscillatory warming trend 

      Łącka, Magdalena; Michalska, Danuta; Pawłowska, Joanna; Szymańska, Natalia; Szczuciński, Witold; Forwick, Matthias; Zajączkowski, Marek (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-24)
      The Younger Dryas (YD) is recognized as a cool period that began and ended abruptly during a time of general warming at the end of the last glacial. New multi-proxy data from a sediment gravity core from Storfjordrenna (western Barents Sea, 253 m water depth) reveals that the onset of the YD occurred as a single short-lived dramatic environment deterioration, whereas the subsequent warming was ...
    • Sedimentary ancient DNA: a new paleogenomic tool for reconstructing the history of marine ecosystems 

      Nguyen, Ngoc-Loi; Devendra, Dhanushka; Szymanska, Natalia; Greco, Mattia; Barrenechea Angeles, Inés Andrea; Weiner, Agnes K. M.; Ray, Jessica Louise; Cordier, Tristan; De Schepper, Stijn; Pawłowski, Jan; Pawłowska, Joanna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-06-09)
      Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) offers a novel retrospective approach to reconstructing the history of marine ecosystems over geological timescales. Until now, the biological proxies used to reconstruct paleoceanographic and paleoecological conditions were limited to organisms whose remains are preserved in the fossil record. The development of ancient DNA analysis techniques substantially expands ...
