      Seidenkrantz, Marit-Solveig; Kuijpers, Antoon; Sørensen, Steffen Aagaard; Lindgreen, Holger; Olsen, Jesper; Pearce, Christof (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-21)
      The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 23–19,000 year BP) designates a period of extensive glacial extent and very cold conditions on the Northern Hemisphere. The strength of ocean circulation during this period has been highly debated. Based on investigations of two marine sediment cores from the Davis Strait (1033 m water depth) and the northern Labrador Sea (2381 m), we demonstrate a significant influx ...

      Reproducible climate reconstructions of the Common Era (1 CE to present) are key to placing industrial-era warming into the context of natural climatic variability. Here we present a community-sourced database of temperature-sensitive proxy records from the PAGES2k initiative. The database gathers 692 records from 648 locations, including all continental regions and major ocean basins. The records ...
    • Linking the modern distribution of biogenic proxies in High Arctic Greenland shelf sediments to sea ice, primary production and Arctic-Atlantic inflow 

      Limoges, Audrey; Ribeiro, Sofia; Weckström, Kaarina; Heikkilä, Maija; Zamelczyk, Katarzyna; Andersen, Thorbjørn J.; Tallberg, Petra; Massé, Guillaume; Rysgaard, Søren; Nørgaard-Pedersen, Niels; Seidenkrantz, Marit-Solveig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-09)
      The eastern north coast of Greenland is considered to be highly sensitive to the ongoing Arctic warming, but there is a general lack of data on modern conditions and in particular on the modern distribution of climate and environmental proxies to provide a baseline and context for studies on past variability. Here we present a detailed investigation of 11 biogenic proxies preserved in surface sediments ...
    • The role of sea ice for vascular plant dispersal in the Arctic 

      Alsos, Inger Greve; Ehrich, Dorothee; Seidenkrantz, Marit-Solveig; Bennike, Ole; Kirchhefer, Andreas; Geirsdottir, Aslaug (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09)
      Sea ice has been suggested to be an important factor for dispersal of vascular plants in the Arctic. To assess its role for postglacial colonization in the North Atlantic region, we compiled data on the first Late Glacial to Holocene occurrence of vascular plant species in East Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Svalbard. For each record, we reconstructed likely past dispersal events ...
    • Sea ice and primary production proxies in surface sediments from a High Arctic Greenland fjord: Spatial distribution and implications for palaeoenvironmental studies 

      Ribeiro, Sofia; Sejr, Mikael K.; Limoges, Audrey; Heikkilä, Maija; Andersen, Thorbjørn Joest; Tallberg, Petra; Weckström, Kaarina; Husum, Katrine; Forwick, Matthias; Dalsgaard, Tage; Massé, Guillaume; Seidenkrantz, Marit-Solveig; Rysgaard, Søren (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-23)
      In order to establish a baseline for proxy-based reconstructions for the Young Sound–Tyrolerfjord system (Northeast Greenland), we analysed the spatial distribution of primary production and sea ice proxies in surface sediments from the fjord, against monitoring data from the Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring Programme. Clear spatial gradients in organic carbon and biogenic silica contents reflected ...
