      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 ...
    • Spatio-temporal patterns of PAHs, PCBs and HCB in sediments of the western Barents Sea 

      Zaborska, Agata; Carroll, Jolynn; Pazdro, Ksenia; Pempkowiak, Janusz (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-11-25)
      We examine the composition and levels of organic contaminants (PAHs, PCB, HCB) in four sediment cores collected from the Barents Sea. We assess the influence of temporal variations in contaminant supplies and post-depositional reworking on contaminant distribution. Anthropogenic levels of ∑ 12PAH reached 95 ng g<sup>−1</sup>, higher inventories dominated by BKF were observed at southern stations, ...
