    • Atlantic inflow and low sea-ice cover in the Nordic Seas promoted Fennoscandian Ice Sheet growth during the Last Glacial Maximum 

      Simon, Margit Hildegard; Rutledal, Sunniva; Menviel, Laurie; Zolles, Tobias; Haflidason, Haflidi; Born, Andreas; Berben, Sarah Miche Patricia; Dokken, Trond Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The Atlantic water inflow into the Nordic Seas has proven difficult to reconstruct for the Last Glacial Maximum. At that time, the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet grew potentially to its maximum extent. Sea-ice free conditions in ...

    • Coastal permafrost was massively eroded during the Bølling-Allerød warm period 

      Nogarotto, Alessio; Noormets, Riko; Chauhan, Teena; Mollenhauer, Gesine; Hefter, Jens; Grotheer, Hendrik; Belt, Simon T.; Colleoni, Florence; Muschitiello, Francesco; Capotondi, Lucilla; Pellegrini, Claudio; Tesi, Tommaso (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The Bølling-Allerød interstadial (14,700–12,900 years before present), during the last deglaciation, was characterized by rapid warming and sea level rise. Yet, the response of the Arctic terrestrial cryosphere during this ...

    • Deep submarine infiltration of altered geothermal groundwater on the south Chilean Margin 

      Clementi, Vincent J.; Rosenthal, Yair; Bova, Samantha C.; Thomas, Elizabeth K.; Wright, James D.; Mortlock, Richard A.; Cowling, Owen C.; Godfrey, Linda V.; Childress, Laurel B.; Aiello, Ivano W.; Avila, Alejandro; Biggs, William; Charles, Christopher D.; Cheung, Anson H.; deLong, Kimberly; Dove, Isabel A.; Du, Xiaojing; Estes, Emily R.; Fuentes, Ursula; García-Lasanta, Cristina; Goldstein, Steven L.; Golub, Anna; Hagemann, Julia Rieke; Hatfield, Robert G.; Haynes, Laura L.; Hess, Anya V.; Irvali, Nil; Kiro, Yael; Monteagudo, Minda M.; Lambert, Jonathan E.; Li, Chen; Longo, William M.; McGrath, Sarah; Riechelson, Hailey; Robinson, Rebecca S.; Sarao, John; Sproson, Adam D.; Taylor, Shawn; Yokoyama, Yusuke; Yu, Siyao M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Submarine groundwater discharge is increasingly recognized as an important component of the oceanic geochemical budget, but knowledge of the distribution of this phenomenon is limited. To date, reports of meteoric inputs ...

    • Hydrothermal fluid flow triggered by an earthquake in Iceland 

      Geoffroy, Laurent; Dorbath, Catherine; Ágústsson, Kristján; Kristjánsdóttir, Sigríður; Flóvenz, Ólafur G.; Doubre, Cécile; Gudmundsson, Ólafur; Barreyre, Thibaut; Bazin, Sara; Franco, Aurore (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Microearthquake hypocenters were analyzed in the Krýsuvík geothermal area in SW-Iceland with data taken from two consecutive passive seismic surveys, 2005 and 2009. Five years prior to the 2005 survey, this area was struck ...

    • Late Holocene canyon-carving floods in northern Iceland were smaller than previously reported 

      Bilt, Willem Godert Maria van der; Barr, Iestyn D.; Berben, Sarah Miche Patricia; hennekam, rick; Lane, Timothy P.; Adamson, Kathryn; Bakke, Jostein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Catastrophic floods have formed deep bedrock canyons on Earth, but the relationship between peak discharge and bedrock erosion is not clearly understood. This hinders efforts to use geological evidence of these cataclysmic ...

    • Radiation damage allows identification of truly inherited zircon 

      Bjerga, Anders; Stubseid, Håvard Hallås; Pedersen, Leif-Erik Rydland; Pedersen, Rolf B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Many studies have reported U-Pb dates of zircon that are older than the igneous rocks that contain them, and they are therefore thought to be inherited from older rock complexes. Their presence has profound geodynamic ...

    • The role of ocean and atmospheric dynamics in the marine-based collapse of the last Eurasian Ice Sheet 

      Sejrup, Hans Petter; Hjelstuen, Berit Oline Blihovde; Patton, Henry; Esteves, Mariana; Winsborrow, Monica; Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Andreassen, Karin Marie; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Information from former ice sheets may provide important context for understanding the response of today’s ice sheets to forcing mechanisms. Here we present a reconstruction of the last deglaciation of marine sectors of ...

    • Seafloor earthquake ruptures and mass wasting from the 2004 Mw 6.3 Les Saintes submarine earthquake 

      Hughes, Alex; Escartín, Javier; Billant, Jeremy; Leclerc, Frédérique; Andreani, Muriel; Olive, Jean-Arthur; Arnaubec, Aurélien; Dano, Alexandre; Delorme, Arthur; Deplus, Christine; Feuillet, Nathalie; Gini, Caroline; Gracias, Nuno; Hamelin, Cedric; Istenič, Klemen; Komorowski, Jean-Christophe; Le Friant, Anne; Marchand, Claire; Mével, Catherine; Onstad, Solveig Lie; Quidelleur, Xavier (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The seismic hazard posed by submarine faults and the capacity of submarine earthquakes to trigger mass wasting are poorly understood because we lack detailed characterizations of coseismic ruptures at the seafloor. Here, ...

    • The seasonal evolution of subglacial drainage pathways beneath a soft-bedded glacier 

      Hart, Jane K.; Young, David S.; Baurley, Nathaniel R.; Robson, Benjamin Aubrey; Martinez, Kirk (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Subglacial hydrology is a key element in glacier response to climate change, but investigations of this environment are logistically difficult. Most models are based on summer data from glaciers resting on rigid bedrocks. ...

    • Seasonal sea ice persisted through the Holocene Thermal Maximum at 80°N 

      Pieńkowski, Anna J.; Husum, Katrine; Belt, Simon T.; Ninnemann, Ulysses S; Köseoğlu, Denizcan; Divine, Dmitry V.; Smik, Lukas; Knies, Jochen; Hogan, Kelly; Noormets, Riko (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The cryospheric response to climatic warming responsible for recent Arctic sea ice decline can be elucidated using marine geological archives which offer an important long-term perspective. The Holocene Thermal Maximum, ...

    • Stable Southern Hemisphere westerly winds throughout the Holocene until intensification in the last two millennia 

      van der Bilt, Willem Godert Maria; D’Andrea, William J.; Oppedal, Lea Toska; Bakke, Jostein; Bjune, Anne Elisabeth; Zwier, Maaike (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The Southern Hemisphere westerly winds sustain the Southern Ocean’s role as one of Earth’s main carbon sinks, and have helped sequester nearly half the anthropogenic CO2 stored in the ocean. Observations show shifts in the ...
