Glacial influence on the iron and sulfur cycles in Arctic fjord sediments (Svalbard)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta"
DOI: 10.1016/j.gca.2019.12.033
Abstract: Abstract Arctic fjord sediments of Svalbard receive terrestrial material from glacial runoff and organic matter from marine primary productivity. Organic carbon mineralization proceeds primarily through sulfate and iron reduction in the fjord sediment. The ongoing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2017.11.013
Abstract: The relationships between modern Arctic benthic foraminifera and their ecological controls, along with their sensitivity to rapid environmental changes, is still poorly understood. This study examines how modern benthic foraminifera respond to annual environmental changes… read more here.

Oxygen isotope-salinity relation in an Arctic fjord (Kongsfjorden): Implications to hydrographic variability
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Geoscience Frontiers"
DOI: 10.1016/j.gsf.2017.12.007
Abstract: Abstract The global warming leads to a large freshwater influx into the Arctic Ocean, which has adverse implications to the sea-ice dynamics, ocean circulation, and acidification. The relationship between oxygen isotope ratio (δ18O) and salinity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marchem.2021.103926
Abstract: Abstract Near-shore environments are a significant source of atmospheric methane but the size of this source is poorly constrained, particularly for fjords and fjards. This study investigated the methane emission rates and the drivers controlling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2020.111917
Abstract: Knowledge of contaminant distribution is important, particularly in the vulnerable first results about the occurrence of seventeen polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans and twelve dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in arctic fjord seawater are reported. The contaminants… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.10.029
Abstract: Abstract Most outlet glaciers of the Cordillera Darwin Icefield (CDI; Patagonia, 54°S) are currently transitioning from calving to land-based conditions. Whether this situation is unique to the modern climate or also occurred during the Holocene… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rsma.2019.100817
Abstract: Abstract The community pattern of meiobenthos in an inner and outer glacial fjord of Kongsfjord was analysed during this study. This study examined the hypothesis that there is a significant difference in the distribution of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/aog.2017.35
Abstract: ABSTRACT Research on young thin sea ice is essential to understand the changes in the Arctic. But it is also the most challenging to investigate, both in situ and from satellites. If satellite remote-sensing techniques… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl084499
Abstract: Fjords on the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) serve as sediment traps, preserving histories of glacial sediment supply. Regional warming trends are expected to change sediment supplies, altering water quality, depositional history, and ecosystem drivers. Our… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2022gb007434
Abstract: The sediments within fjords are critical components of the mid‐ to high‐latitude coastal carbon (C) cycle, trapping and storing more organic carbon (OC) per unit area than other marine sedimentary environments. Located at the land‐ocean… read more here.
