Sakari; Šeirienė, Vaida; Winter, Hanna; Tzedakis, P. Chronis; Birks, Harry John Betteley (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The Eemian interglacial represents a natural experiment on how past vegetation with negligible human impact responded to amplified temperature changes compared to the Holocene. Here, we assemble 47 carefully selected Eemian ...
    • High resolution benthic Mg/Ca temperature record of the intermediate water in the Denmark Strait across D-O stadial-interstadial cycles 

      Sessford, Evangeline; Tisserand, Amandine Aline; Risebrobakken, Bjørg; Andersson, Carin; Dokken, Trond Martin; Jansen, Eystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      Dansgaard‐Oeschger (D‐O) climate instabilities that took place during Marine Isotope Stage 3 are connected to changes in ocean circulation patterns and sea ice cover. Here we explore in detail the configuration of the water ...
    • A high-resolution study of Holocene paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic changes in the Nordic Seas 

      Risebrobakken, Bjørg; Jansen, Eystein; Andersson, Carin; Mjelde, Eirik; Hevrøy, Kjersti (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003-03-26)
      High-resolution records from IMAGES core MD95-2011 in the eastern Norwegian Sea provide evidence for relatively large- and small-scale high-latitude climate variability throughout the Holocene. During the early and ...
