• Climatic impacts on an Arctic lake since 1300 AD: a multi-proxy lake sediment reconstruction from Prins Karls Forland, Svalbard 

      Orme, Lisa Claire; Lind, Ewa M.; Holm, Trine Marianne; Kjellman, Sofia Elisabeth; Koinig, Karin A.; Hormes, Anne; Rosqvist, Gunhild C.; Ruppel, Meri; Divine, Dmitry; Husum, Katrine; Miettinen, Arto; Isaksson, Elisabeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-31)
      On the remote Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, there is increasing evidence of environmental impacts from climate change. The analysis of lake sedimentary records can be used to assess how strongly these recent changes have altered lake ecosystems. Sediments deposited during the last millennium from Lake Blokkvatnet, Prins Karls Forland, were analysed using a multiproxy approach, including stable ...
    • The marine sedimentary environments of Kongsfjorden, Svalbard: an archive of polar environmental change 

      Husum, Katrine; Howe, John A; Baltzer, Agnes; Forwick, Matthias; Jensen, Maria; Jernas, Patrycja; Korsun, Sergei; Miettinen, Arto; Mohan, Rahul; Morigi, Caterina; Myhre, Per Inge; Prins, Maarten A.; Skirbekk, Kari; Sternal, Beata; Boos, Michel; Dijkstra, Noortje; Troelstra, Simon R. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-16)
      Kongsfjorden, a fjord in north-western Svalbard, is characterized by large environmental gradients driven by meltwater processes along the margins of tidewater glaciers and the inflow of relatively warm Atlantic Water, the main heat source for the European Arctic. These factors make Kongsfjorden a key area to investigate changes in the polar climate–ocean–glacier system and to examine the resulting ...
    • A review of the scientific knowledge of the seascape off Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica

      Despite the exclusion of the Southern Ocean from assessments of progress towards achieving the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Strategic Plan, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) has taken on the mantle of progressing eforts to achieve it. Within the CBD, Aichi Target 11 represents an agreed commitment to protect 10% of the global coastal and ...
    • Younger Dryas ice margin retreat triggered by ocean surface warming in central-eastern Baffin Bay 

      Oksman, Mimmi; Weckström, Kaarina; Miettinen, Arto; Juggins, Stephen; Divine, Dmitry V; Jackson, Rebecca; Telford, Richard; Korsgaard, Niels J.; Kučera, Michal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-18)
      The transition from the last ice age to the present-day interglacial was interrupted by the Younger Dryas (YD) cold period. While many studies exist on this climate event, only few include high-resolution marine records that span the YD. In order to better understand the interactions between ocean, atmosphere and ice sheet stability during the YD, more high-resolution proxy records from the Arctic, ...
