• The emergence of modern sea ice cover in the Arctic Ocean 

      Knies, Jochen; Cabedo-Sanz, Patricia; Belt, Simon T.; Baranwal, Soma; Fietz, Susanne; Rosell-Melé, Antoni (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-28)
      Arctic sea ice coverage is shrinking in response to global climate change and summer ice-free conditions in the Arctic Ocean are predicted by the end of the century. The validity of this prediction could potentially be tested through the reconstruction of the climate of the Pliocene epoch (5.33–2.58 million years ago), an analogue of a future warmer Earth. Here we show that, in the Eurasian sector ...
    • Modern Analogue Approach Applied to High-Resolution Varved Sediments - A Synthesis for Lake Montcortès (Central Pyrenees) 

      Vegas-Vilarrúbia, Teresa; Rull, Valentí; Trapote, Maria del Carmen; Cao, Min; Rosell-Melé, Antoni; Buchaca, Teresa; Gomà, Joan; López, Pilar; Sigró, Javier; Safont, Elisabet; Cañellas-Boltà, Núria; Garces Pastor, Sandra; Giralt, Santiago; Corella, Juan Pablo; Pérez-Zanón, Núria (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-02)
      In Quaternary paleosciences, the rationale behind analogical inference presupposes that former processes can be explained by causes operating now, although their intensity and rates can vary through time. In this paper we synthesised the results of different modern analogue studies performed in a varved lake. We discuss their potential value to obtain best results from high resolution past records. ...
    • Postglacial paleoceanography of the western Barents Sea: Implications for alkenone-based sea surface temperatures and primary productivity 

      Lacka, Magdalena; Cao, Min; Rosell-Melé, Antoni; Pawlowska, Joanna; Kucharska, Małgorzata; Forwick, Matthias; Zajaczkowski, Marek (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-11)
      The increasing influence of Atlantic Water (AW) in the Barents Sea, a process known as “Atlantification”, is gradually decreasing sea ice cover in the region. Ongoing global climate warming is likely to be one of its drivers, but to further understand the role of natural variability and the biogeochemical impacts of the inflow of AW into the western Barents Sea, we reconstructed sea surface temperatures ...
