      Sauer, Simone; Hong, Wei-Li; Knies, Jochen; Lepland, Aivo; Forwick, Matthias; Klug, Martin; Eichinger, Florian; Baranwal, Soma; Cremiere, Antoine; Chand, Shyam; Schubert, Carsten J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-22)
      To better understand the present and past carbon cycling and transformation processes in methane-influenced fjord and shelf areas of northern Norway, we compared two sediment cores from the Hola trough and from Ullsfjorden. We investigated (1) the organic matter composition and sedimentological characteristics to study the sources of organic carbon (C<sub>org</sub>) and the factors influencing ...
    • Stability of Cu-Sulfides in Submarine Tailing Disposals: A Case Study from Repparfjorden, Northern Norway 

      Mun, Yulia; Strmic Palinkas, Sabina; Forwick, Matthias; Junttila, Juho; Pedersen, Kristine Bondo; Sternal, Beata; Neufeld, Kai; Tibljaš, Darko; Kullerud, Kåre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-13)
      Mine tailings that were produced during the exploitation of the Ulveryggen siliciclastic sediment-hosted Cu deposit in northern Norway were disposed into the inner part of Repparfjorden from 1972 to 1978/1979. This study focuses on the mineralogy and geochemistry of the submarine mine tailings and underlying natural marine sediments from the inner part of Repparfjorden, as well as on the primary ...
    • Submarine geomorphology at the front of the retreating hansbreen tidewater glacier, hornsund fjord, southwest spitsbergen 

      Cwiakala, Joanna; Moskalik, Mateusz; Forwick, Matthias; Wojtysiak, Kacper; Gizejewski, Jerzy; Szczucinski, Witold (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-01)
      A 1:10,000 scale bathymetric map as well as 1:20,000 scale backscattering and geomorphological maps of two bays Isbjørnhamna and Hansbukta in the Hornsund fjord (Spitsbergen) present the submarine relief that was primarily formed during and after the retreat of the Hansbreen tidewater glacier. Geomorphological mapping was performed using multibeam bathymetric data and seismoacoustic profiling. The ...
    • Submarine landform assemblages and sedimentary processes related to glacier surging in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard 

      Streuff, K.; Forwick, Matthias; Szczucinski, W.; Andreassen, Karin; O' Cofaigh, C. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-21)
      High-resolution swath-bathymetry data from inner Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, reveal characteristic landform assemblages formed during and after surges of tidewater glaciers, and provide new insights into the dynamics of surging glaciers. Glacier front oscillations and overriding related to surge activity lead to the formation of overridden moraines, glacial lineations of two types, terminal moraines, ...
    • Variability in transport of terrigenous material on the shelves and the deep Arctic Ocean during the Holocene 

      Wegner, C.; Bennet, K.; Vernal, Anne de; Forwick, Matthias; Fritz, M.; Heikkilä, Maija; Łącka, Magdalena; Lantuit, Hugues; Laska, Michał; Moskalik, Mateusz; O’Regan, Matt; Pawłowska, J; Promińska, Agnieszka; Rachold, Volker; Vonk, Jorien E.; Werner, Kirstin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-12-09)
      Arctic coastal zones serve as a sensitive filter for terrigenous matter input onto the shelves via river discharge and coastal erosion. This material is further distributed across the Arctic by ocean currents and sea ice. The coastal regions are particularly vulnerable to changes related to recent climate change. We compiled a pan-Arctic review that looks into the changing Holocene sources, transport ...
