TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present data from deep-sea sediment cores from the Fram Strait, which suggest that relatively warm water from the North Atlantic Ocean was advected into the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian (GIN) seas in two short-term events (27−22.5 and 19.5−14.5 kyr ago).

TL;DR: In this article, seven regionally correlatable reflectors have been identified in the Upper Cenozoic sedimentary succession along the western continental margin of Svalbard and the Barents Sea.

TL;DR: The history of the Late Weichselian northwestern Barents Shelf, including western Svalbard, has been investigated by provenance/sedimentologist studies of five cores.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) 14C dating and isotopic analysis of a rapidly deposited series of supra-till sediments in the Norwegian Channel (North Sea) to find that the southern margin of the Fennoscandian ice sheet was in retreat by 15 kyr BP (before present), approximately 2,000 yr earlier than previously supposed.

TL;DR: The European program on the Late Cenozoic evolution of the Polar North Atlantic Margins (PONAM), running from 1990 to 1994, resulted in a wealth of seismic data and sediment cores, particularly from the Svalbard and Barents Sea continental margin, but also from areas of the East Greenland margin this article.
