Approximately 60% of Svalbard's land areas are glaciated at the present time. The
Archipelago has more than 1100 glaciers (> 1 km 2) and 163 of these are “tidewater …

Fjords have long been recognized for their value as sites of sediment deposition, recording
past climatic conditions. Recently, Arctic fjords have been recognized as the critical gateway …

The arctic environment is changing: air temperatures, major river discharges and open water
season length have increased, and storm intensities and tracks are changing. Thirteen …

Multi-proxy analyses of two sediment cores from central Isfjorden were used to reconstruct
the glacial history in central Spitsbergen during the Late Weichselian and the Holocene, and …

In Svalbard, the rapid glacier retreat observed since the end of the Little Ice Age (LIA) has
transformed the geomorphology and sediment budgets of glacial forelands, river valleys …

The Little Ice Age (∼ 1600–1900 AD) and 20th century sediment accumulation rates in
Billefjorden, a subpolar fjord on Svalbard, were reconstructed by applying 210Pb, 137Cs …

The distribution patterns of benthic foraminifera faunas, stable isotopes and ice rafted debris
(IRD) have been studied in piston core JM98-845-PC from Isfjorden, western Svalbard to …

Due to the Arctic amplification effect, the Svalbard archipelago is an important area for
studying ongoing environmental changes. However, its marine ecosystem is extremely …

The relationships between modern Arctic benthic foraminifera and their ecological controls,
along with their sensitivity to rapid environmental changes, is still poorly understood. This …

Atlantic Water (AW) advection plays an important role in climatic, oceanographic and
environmental conditions in the eastern Arctic. Situated along the only deep connection …
