Palaeoceanographic changes in the northern Barents Sea during the last 16 000 years – new constraints on the last deglaciation of the Svalbard– Barents Sea Ice Sheet
The sediment core NP05 ‐71 GC , retrieved from 360 m water depth south of K vitøya, northwestern B arents S ea, was investigated for the distribution of benthic and planktic foraminifera, stable isotopes and sedimentological parameters to reconstruct palaeoceanographic changes and the growth and ret...
