One gracity core NP05–11–49GC was retrieved from a 320 m water depth in the central part of Erik Eriksen Strait, south of Nordaustlandet, northwestern Barents Sea. The core was investigated for benthic foraminiferal distribution patterns, stable isotopes and sedimentological parameters in order to r...
