    • 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 ...

    • Arctic Ocean glacial history 

      Jakobsson, Martin; Andreassen, Karin; Bjarnadóttir, Lilja Rún; Dove, Dayton; Dowdeswell, Julian A.; England, John H.; Funder, Svend; Hogan, Kelly; Ingólfsson, Ólafur; Jennings, Anne; Krog Larsen, Nikolaj; Kirchner, Nina; Landvik, Jon Y.; Mayer, Larry; Mikkelsen, Naja; Möller, Per; Niessen, Frank; Nilsson, Johan; O'Reagan, Matt; Polyak, Leonid; Nørgaard-Pedersen, Niels; Stein, Ruediger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-11-14)
      While there are numerous hypotheses concerning glacial–interglacial environmental and climatic regime shifts in the Arctic Ocean, a holistic view on the Northern Hemisphere's late Quaternary ice-sheet extent and their impact on ocean and sea-ice dynamics remains to be established. Here we aim to provide a step in this direction by presenting an overview of Arctic Ocean glacial history, based on the ...

    • Cyclostratigraphic age constraining for Quaternary sediments in the Makarov Basin of the western Arctic Ocean using manganese variability 

      Park, Kwangkyu; Kim, Jung-Hyun; Asahi, Hirofumi; Polyak, Leonid; Khim, Boo-Keun; Schreck, Michael; Niessen, Frank; Kong, Gee Soo; Nam, Seung-Il (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-26)
      The Quaternary paleoenvironmental history of the Arctic Ocean remains uncertain, mainly due to the limited chronological constraints, especially beyond the 14C dating limits of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). The difficulty in establishing reliable chronostratigraphies is mainly attributed to low sedimentation rates and diagenetic sediment changes, resulting in very poor preservation 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, ...

    • Late Quaternary depositional and glacial history of the Arliss Plateau off the East Siberian margin in the western Arctic Ocean 

      Joe, Young Jin; Polyak, Leonid; Schreck, Michael; Niessen, Frank; Yoon, Seok Hoon; Kong, Gee Soo; Nam, Seung-II (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-19)
      Sedimentary stratigraphy and facies analysis along with seismostratigraphic and multibeam bathymetrydata are used to reconstruct the last glacial impact on the Arliss Plateau (AP) and attendant sedimen-tation in the adjacent Chukchi Basin (CB) in the western Arctic Ocean off the East Siberian margin.Sediment core ARA02B/16B-GC from the AP lower slope captures glacier-related depositional historyduring ...
