      Biogeochemical cycling in the semi-enclosed Arctic Ocean is strongly influenced by land–ocean transport of carbon and other elements and is vulnerable to environmental and climate changes. Sediments of the Arctic Ocean are an important part of biogeochemical cycling in the Arctic and provide the opportunity to study present and historical input and the fate of organic matter (e.g., through permafrost ...
    • 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 ...
    • Vedde Ash constrains Younger Dryas glacier re-advance and rapid glacio-isostatic rebound on Svalbard 

      Farnsworth, Wesley Randall; Ingólfsson, Ólafur; Mannerfelt, Erik S.; Kalliokoski, Maarit H.; Gudmundsdottir, Esther Ruth; Retelle, Michael; Allaart, Lis; Brynjólfsson, Skafti; Furze, Mark; Hancock, Holt John; Kjær, Kurt H.; Pieńkowski, Anna J.; Schomacker, Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-09)
      The distal deposition of tephra from explosive volcanism has the potential to geochronologically constrain sedimentary archives and landforms. With this technique, we constrain a Late Glacial glacier re-advance on Svalbard and suggest that glacioisostatic emergence rates during the Younger Dryas chronozone were at least three times greater than previous estimates. The identification of cryptotephra ...
