Lithofacies and benthic foraminiferal analyses of two sediment cores (BS1191-K13B and K14) from Nansen Fjord, eastern Greenland, show evidence of changing oceanographic and sea-ice conditions from AD 730 to the present. Radiocarbon dates on foraminifera provide century-scale resolution of events, bu...
