Gravity core HH18-1500GC retrieved from the Hinlopen Trough, Arctic Ocean, has been investigated in order to reconstruct the climatic evolution and ocean circulation over the last 16 000 years. The core was taken at the edge of the trough on the northern Svalbard shelf in order to be certain to reac...
