A late-Holocene multi-proxy record from the northern Norwegian margin: Temperature and salinity variability
To elucidate the natural variability of Atlantic and Coastal water, a late-Holocene multi-proxy analysis is performed on a marine sediment core from the northern Norwegian margin. This includes planktic foraminiferal fauna and their preservation indicators, stable isotopes (δ 18 O c , δ 13 C), sub-s...
