Holocene paleoceanography and glacial history of the West Spitsbergen area, Euro-Arctic margin." Quaternary Science Reviews
Abstract Two sediment cores from the West Spitsbergen area, Euro-Arctic margin, MD99-2304 and MD99-2305, have been investigated for paleoceanographic proxies, including benthic and planktonic foraminifera, benthic foraminiferal stable isotopes and ice rafted debris. Core MD99-2304 is located on the...
