Journal ArticleDOI
Holocene paleoceanography and glacial history of the West Spitsbergen area, Euro-Arctic margin
Morten Hald,Hanne Ebbesen,Matthias Forwick,Fred Godtliebsen,Liza Khomenko,Sergei Korsun,Lena Ringstad Olsen,Tore O. Vorren +7 more
TL;DR: Two sediment cores from the West Spitsbergen area, Euro-Arctic margin, were investigated for paleoceanographic proxies, including benthic and planktonic foraminifera, stable isotopes and ice rafted debris as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Submarine landforms characteristic of glacier surges in two Spitsbergen fjords
Dag Ottesen,Julian A. Dowdeswell,Douglas I. Benn,Lene Kristensen,H.H. Christiansen,O. Christensen,L. Hansen,E. Lebesbye,Matthias Forwick,Tore O. Vorren +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used high-resolution swath bathymetry obtained from Van Keulenfjorden and Rindersbukta (inner Van Mijendalen), Spitsbergen, Svalbard, Norway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Weichselian and Holocene sedimentary environments and ice rafting in Isfjorden, Spitsbergen
Matthias Forwick,Tore O. Vorren +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, multi-proxy analyses of two sediment cores from central Isfjorden were used to reconstruct the glacial history in central Spitsbergen during the Late Weichselian and the Holocene, and to relate iceberg rafting and sea-ice rafting to climatic and oceanographic changes in the north Atlantic region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deglacial history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in the western Amundsen Sea Embayment
James Smith,Claus-Dieter Hillenbrand,Gerhard Kuhn,Robert D Larter,Alastair G C Graham,Werner Ehrmann,Steven Grahame Moreton,Matthias Forwick +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present detailed marine geological and radiocarbon data along three palaeo-ice stream tributary troughs in the western ASE to establish vital information on the timing of deglaciation of the WAIS since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for ice-free summers in the late Miocene central Arctic Ocean
Ruediger Stein,Kirsten Fahl,Michael Schreck,Gregor Knorr,Frank Niessen,Matthias Forwick,Catalina Gebhardt,Laura Jensen,Michael A. Kaminski,Achim J Kopf,Jens Matthiessen,Wilfried Jokat,Wilfried Jokat,Gerrit Lohmann,Gerrit Lohmann +14 more
TL;DR: The presence of IP25 as a proxy for spring sea-ice cover and alkenone-based summer sea-surface temperatures >4 °C that support a seasonal sea- ice cover with an ice-free summer season being predominant during the late Miocene in the central Arctic Ocean is documented.
