Swath bathymetry, high resolution seismic and core data are analysed to describe the Late Weichselian and Holocene sedimentary processes and palaeoenvironment in Van Keulenfjorden, Spitsbergen. Bottom currents, the bathymetry of the fjord and the distance from sediment sources are the controlling fa...
