Three cores recovered off the northwest of Svalbard were studied with respect to glacial/interglacial changes of clay and bulk mineralogy, lithology and organic geochemistry. The cores cover the Late Quaternary Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 6–1 (ca. 170,000 years) and are located in the vicinity of th...
