      Changes in the Arctic climate-ocean system can rapidly impact carbon cycling and cryosphere. Methane release from the seafloor has been widespread in the Barents Sea since the last deglaciation, being closely linked to changes in pressure and bottom water temperature. Here, we present a post-glacial bottom water temperature record (18,000–0 years before present) based on Mg/Ca in benthic foraminifera ...
    • Episodic release of CO2 from the high-latitude North Atlantic Ocean during the last 135 kyrs 

      Ezat, Mohamed; Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Honisch, Barbel; Groeneveld, Jeroen; DeMenocal, P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-22)
      Antarctic ice cores document glacial-interglacial and millennial-scale variability in atmospheric pCO2 over the past 800 kyr. The ocean, as the largest active carbon reservoir on this timescale, is thought to have played a dominant role in these pCO2 fluctuations, but it remains unclear how and where in the ocean CO2 was stored during glaciations and released during (de)glacial millennial-scale ...
    • Reconstruction of hydrographic changes in the southern Norwegian Sea during the past 135 kyr and the impact of different foraminiferal Mg/Ca cleaning protocols 

      Ezat, Mohamed; Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Groeneveld, Jeroen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-20)
      The shallow subsurface hydrography in the southern Norwegian Sea during the past 135,000 years was investigated using parallel measurements of Mg/Ca and δ18O in shells of the planktic foraminiferal species Neogloboquadrina pachyderma. Two cleaning methods were applied prior to Mg/Ca analysis, “Mg cleaning” and “full cleaning” methods. Different results were obtained, which are most likely due to a ...
    • Ventilation history of Nordic Seas overflows during the last (de)glacial period revealed by species-specific benthic foraminiferal 14C dates 

      Mohamed, Ezat M.; Rasmussen, Tine L.; Thornalley, David J.R.; Olsen, Jesper; Skinner, Luke C.; Hönisch, Bärbel; Groeneveld, Jeroen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-10)
      Formation of deep water in the high‐latitude North Atlantic is important for the global meridional ocean circulation, and its variability in the past may have played an important role in regional and global climate change. Here we study ocean circulation associated with the last (de)glacial period, using water‐column radiocarbon age reconstructions in the Faroe‐Shetland Channel, southeastern Norwegian ...
