      The present-day ocean ventilation in the Arctic Mediterranean (Nordic Seas and Arctic Ocean), via transformation of northward inflowing warm Atlantic surface water into cold deep water, affects regional climate, atmospheric circulation and carbon storage in the deep ocean. Here we study the glacial evolution of the Arctic Mediterranean circulation and its influence on glacial climate using ...
    • Deep ocean storage of heat and CO2 in the Fram Strait, Arctic Ocean during the last glacial period 

      Ezat, Mohamed; Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Hain, Mathis P.; Greaves, Mervyn; Rae, James W.B.; Zamelczyk, Katarzyna; Marchitto, Thomas M.; Szidat, Sönke; Skinner, Luke C. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-19)
      The Fram Strait is the only deep gateway between the Arctic Ocean and the Nordic Seas and thus is a key area to study past changes in ocean circulation and the marine carbon cycle. Here, we study deep ocean temperature, δ18O, carbonate chemistry (i.e., carbonate ion concentration [CO32−]), and nutrient content in the Fram Strait during the late glacial (35,000–19,000 years BP) and the Holocene based ...
    • Fast and slow components of interstadial warming in the North Atlantic during the last glacial 

      Margari, Vasiliki; Skinner, Luke C.; Menviel, Laurie; Capron, Emilie; Rhodes, Rachael H; Mleneck-Vautravers, Maryline J.; Ezat, Mohamed; Martrat, Belen; Grimalt, Joan O.; Hodell, David A; Tzedakis, Polychronis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-13)
      The abrupt nature of warming events recorded in Greenland ice-cores during the last glacial has generated much debate over their underlying mechanisms. Here, we present joint marine and terrestrial analyses from the Portuguese Margin, showing a succession of cold stadials and warm interstadials over the interval 35–57 ka. Heinrich stadials 4 and 5 contain considerable structure, with a short ...
    • 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 ...
