Bivalve shell horizons in seafloor pockmarks of the last glacial-interglacial transition suggest a thousand years of methane emissions in the Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-05)We studied discrete bivalve shell horizons in two gravity cores from seafloor pockmarks on the Vestnesa Ridge (1200 m water depth) and western Svalbard (798000 N, 068550 W) to provide insight into the temporal and spatial dynamics of seabed methane seeps. The shell beds, dominated by two genera of the family Vesicomyidae: Phreagena s.l. and Isorropodon sp., were 20–30 cm thick and centered at ... -
First record of cuticle bands in the stomach ossicles of the red king crab Paralithodes camtschaticus (Tilesius, 1815) (Decapoda: Anomura: Lithodidae) from Norway.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-09)The red king crab Paralithodes camtschaticus (Tilesius, 1815) is a large predator intentionally introduced to the Barents Sea and adjacent fjords in the 1960s. Its establishment has given rise to both a high-value fishery and destructive effects on seafloor habitats and communities. Given the need for accurate information on age, growth, and longevity that could improve management and mitigation ... -
Methane cold seeps as biological oases in the high-Arctic deep sea
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-27)Cold seeps can support unique faunal communities via chemosynthetic interactions fueled by seabed emissions of hydrocarbons. Additionally, cold seeps can enhance habitat complexity at the deep seafloor through the accretion of methane derived authigenic carbonates (MDAC). We examined infaunal and megafaunal community structure at high-Arctic cold seeps through analyses of benthic samples and ... -
Removal of methane through hydrological, microbial, and geochemical processes in the shallow sediments of pockmarks along eastern Vestnesa Ridge (Svalbard)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)The recent discovery of methane seeps in the Arctic region requires a better understanding of the fate of methane in marine sediments if we are to understand the contributions of methane to Arctic ecosystems and climate change. To further this goal, we analyze pore water data from five pockmarks along eastern Vestnesa Ridge, a sediment drift northwest of Svalbard, to quantify the consumption ... -
Seafloor warm water temperature anomalies impact benthic macrofauna communities of a high-Arctic cold-water fjord
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-05)Amid the alarming atmospheric and oceanic warming rates taking place in the Arctic, western fjords around the Svalbard archipelago are experiencing an increased frequency of warm water intrusions in recent decades, causing ecological shifts in their ecosystems. However, hardly anything is known about their potential impacts on the until recently considered stable and colder northern fjords. We ...
