Abstract Analysis of cores collected from Late Devensian (Weichselian) and Holocene sediments on the floor North Sea provides evidence transgression freshwater environments during relative sea-level rise. Although many show truncated sequences, examples Dogger Bank, Well Bank 5 km offshore north Norfolk reveal transitional sequences reliable indicators past shoreline positions. Together with radiocarbon-dated index points estuaries coastal lowlands eastern England these data enable...
This study employs a multiproxy approach in the reconstruction of Holocene monsoon history from sedimentary sequences obtained Pearl River Estuary, southern China. A set modern surface sediment samples were collected within and outside estuary, core was mouth estuary. range environmental variables recorded including water salinity (summer, winter annual average) depth. The diatom results show good relationship with salinity, marine diatoms dominating more distal main estuary freshwater...

Abstract In Svalbard, the rapid glacier retreat observed since end of Little Ice Age (LIA) has transformed geomorphology and sediment budgets glacial forelands, river valleys, slope systems. To date, relatively little information exists regarding impact such a profound landscape degradation on evolution coastal environment. This paper addresses this deficiency by detailing post‐LIA fluxes to zone in Billefjorden, central Spitsbergen (Svalbard). We analysed response gravel‐dominated barrier...
High-resolution Os isotope stratigraphy can aid in reconstructing Pleistocene ice sheet fluctuation and elucidating the role of local regional weathering fluxes on marine residence time. This paper presents new data from ocean cores adjacent to West Greenland that have excellent chronological controls. Cores MSM-520 DA00-06 represent distal proximal sites two streams. Core has a steadily decreasing signal over last 10 kyr (187Os/188Os = 1.35–0.81). In contrast, isotopes core (proximal...
Abstract During the past four decades significant decrease in Arctic sea ice and a dramatic mass loss of Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) has been coincident with global warming an increase atmospheric CO 2 . In Northeast from outlet glaciers Nioghalvfjerdsbræ (79NG) Zachariæ Isstrøm (ZI) intensive seasonal breakup local Norske Øer Barrier (NØIB) have also observed since 2000. order to better understand processes driving these modern changes, studies paleoclimate records are important major...
Cruise SD041 of the UK research vessel RRS Sir David Attenborough to continental shelf offshore SE Greenland took place in July-August 2024. The cruise was part NERC-funded ‘Kang-Glac’ project, a large multi-disciplinary, international, project jointly led by British Antarctic Survey and Durham University, UK. collected range geological, geophysical, oceanographic biological data from Kangerlussuaq Fjord, Greenland, several adjoining fjords. aim Kang-Glac is investigate...
So far, melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has been biggest contributor from Earth’s cryosphere to global sea-level rise. Major uncertainties remain about how oceanic heat is transported across shelf and through fjords faces marine-terminating glaciers, this affects rates ice melt calving. In turn, increasing supply meltwater nutrients ocean around impacting marine ecosystems as primary productivity rises,  subsequently potential for  carbon be buried...
