Two gravity cores JM06-024-GC3 and JM07-049-GC1 from Smeerenburgfjorden at the northwestern corner of Svalbard have been investigated for the distribution pattern of the benthic foraminiferal faunas. The oxygen and carbon isotope values in benthic foraminifera were analysed and together with other p...
