      While there are numerous hypotheses concerning glacial–interglacial environmental and climatic regime shifts in the Arctic Ocean, a holistic view on the Northern Hemisphere's late Quaternary ice-sheet extent and their impact on ocean and sea-ice dynamics remains to be established. Here we aim to provide a step in this direction by presenting an overview of Arctic Ocean glacial history, based on the ...
    • Cyclostratigraphic age constraining for Quaternary sediments in the Makarov Basin of the western Arctic Ocean using manganese variability 

      Park, Kwangkyu; Kim, Jung-Hyun; Asahi, Hirofumi; Polyak, Leonid; Khim, Boo-Keun; Schreck, Michael; Niessen, Frank; Kong, Gee Soo; Nam, Seung-Il (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-26)
      The Quaternary paleoenvironmental history of the Arctic Ocean remains uncertain, mainly due to the limited chronological constraints, especially beyond the 14C dating limits of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). The difficulty in establishing reliable chronostratigraphies is mainly attributed to low sedimentation rates and diagenetic sediment changes, resulting in very poor preservation of ...
    • Evidence for ice-free summers in the late Miocene central Arctic Ocean 

      Stein, Ruediger; Fahl, Kirsten; Schreck, Michael; Knorr, Gregor; Niessen, Frank; Forwick, Matthias; Gebhardt, Catalina; Jensen, Laura; Kaminski, Michael; Kopf, Achim; Matthiessen, Jens; Jokat, Wilfried; Lohmann, Gerrit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-04)
      Although the permanently to seasonally ice-covered Arctic Ocean is a unique and sensitive component in the Earth’s climate system, the knowledge of its long-term climate history remains very limited due to the restricted number of pre-Quaternary sedimentary records. During Polarstern Expedition PS87/2014, we discovered multiple submarine landslides along Lomonosov Ridge. Removal of younger ...
    • Late Quaternary depositional and glacial history of the Arliss Plateau off the East Siberian margin in the western Arctic Ocean 

      Joe, Young Jin; Polyak, Leonid; Schreck, Michael; Niessen, Frank; Yoon, Seok Hoon; Kong, Gee Soo; Nam, Seung-II (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-19)
      Sedimentary stratigraphy and facies analysis along with seismostratigraphic and multibeam bathymetrydata are used to reconstruct the last glacial impact on the Arliss Plateau (AP) and attendant sedimen-tation in the adjacent Chukchi Basin (CB) in the western Arctic Ocean off the East Siberian margin.Sediment core ARA02B/16B-GC from the AP lower slope captures glacier-related depositional historyduring ...
    • Production of fluorescent dissolved organic matter in Arctic Ocean sediments 

      Chen, Meilian; Kim, Ji-Hoon; Nam, Seung-Il; Niessen, Frank; Hong, Wei-Li; Kang, Moo-Hee; Hur, Jin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Little is known about the production of fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) in the anoxic oceanic sediments. In this study, sediment pore waters were sampled from four different sites in the Chukchi-East Siberian Seas area to examine the bulk dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and their optical properties. The production of FDOM, coupled with the increase of nutrients, was observed above the ...
