Summary: | The focus of this master thesis is to investigate the paleoenvironmental and paleoceanography during the last deglaciation in Leirdjupet, a small submarine trough in the southwestern Barents Sea. The lower half of the piston corer HH15-1303PC has been investigated for the distribution pattern of benthic foraminifera faunas, ice rafted debris (IRD), lithology and oxygen and carbon isotopes covering; the Bølling, Allerød, the Younger Dryas, the Younger Dryas-Holocene transition and the early Holocene. |
