Glacial-interglacial cycles in Sr and Nd isotopic composition of Arctic marine sedimentes: changes in sedimentes provenance triggered by the Barents Sea ice sheet
Sr and Nd isotopic compositions of Arctic marine sediments characterize changes of sediment source regions and trace shelf–ocean particle pathways during glacial–interglacial transitions in the eastern Arctic Ocean. In the 140-ka sedimentary record of a marine core from Yermak Plateau, north of Sval...

Sr and Nd isotopic compositions of Arctic marine sediments characterize changes of sediment source regions and trace shelf–ocean particle pathways during glacial–interglacial transitions in the eastern Arctic Ocean. In the 140-ka sedimentary record of a marine core from Yermak Plateau, north of Svalbard, 87Sr/86Sr ratios and εNd values vary between 0.717 and 0.740 and −9.3 and −14.9, respectively. Sr and Nd isotopic composition both change characteristically during glacial–interglacial cycles and are correlated with the extension of the Svalbard/Barents Sea ice sheet (SBIS). The downcore variation in Sr and Nd isotopic composition indicates climatically induced changes in sediment provenance from two isotopically distinct end-members: (1) Eurasian shelf sediments as a distal source; and (2) Svalbard bedrock as a proximal source that coincide with a change in transport mechanism from sea ice to glacial ice. During glacier advance from Svalbard and intensified glacial bedrock erosion, εNd values decrease gradually to a minimum value of −14.9 due to increased input of crystalline Svalbard bedrock material.
