• Early Pliocene onset of modern Nordic Seas circulation related to ocean gateway changes 

      De Schepper, Stijn; Schreck, Michael; Beck, Kristina Marie; Matthiessen, Jens; Fahl, Kirsten; Mangerud, Gunn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-28)
      The globally warm climate of the early Pliocene gradually cooled from 4 million years ago, synchronous with decreasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations. In contrast, palaeoceanographic records indicate that the Nordic Seas ...
    • Sea ice in the Nordic Seas: Greenland stadial to interstadial changes 

      Wang, Yunyi; Risebrobakken, Bjørg; Fahl, Kirsten; Stein, Rüdiger; Jansen, Eystein; Steinsland, Kristine; Kissel, Catherine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Sea ice conditions in the eastern Fram Strait between 40 and 36.5 ka b2k (thousand years before the year 2000) are reconstructed in detail, based on biomarker analyses. Following extensive sea ice conditions around the ...
    • Sea ice variability in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre throughout the last interglacial 

      Steinsland, Kristine; Grant, Danielle; Ninnemann, Ulysses S; Fahl, Kirsten; Stein, Ruediger; De Schepper, Stijn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The Last Interglacial period, Marine Isotope Stage 5e (MIS 5e ∼116–128 ka), is thought to have had a warmer, but less stable climate than the present interglacial. One key factor that has the potential to influence the ...
    • Sea ice variability in the southern Norwegian Sea during glacial Dansgaard-Oeschger climate cycles 

      Sadatzki, Henrik; Dokken, Trond Martin; Berben, Sarah Miche Patricia; Muschitiello, Francesco; Stein, Ruediger; Fahl, Kirsten; Menviel, Laurie; Timmermann, Axel; Jansen, Eystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-06)
      The last glacial period was marked by pronounced millennial-scale variability in ocean circulation and global climate. Shifts in sea ice cover within the Nordic Seas are believed to have amplified the glacial climate ...
