Late Pleistocene changes in terrestrial biomarkers in sediments from the central Arctic Ocean
Biomarkers in Late Pleistocene sediments collected from the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP)-Arctic Coring Expedition (ACEX) Hole M0004C (central Arctic Ocean) were investigated. The major biomarkers are long chain n-alkanes, n-fatty acids and n-alkan1-ols, indicating fresh organic matter (OM) derived predominantly from higher plants. The dominance of terrestrial biomarkers is attribute...
متن کاملPleistocene graminoid-dominated ecosystems in the Arctic
We review evidence obtained from analyses of multiple proxies (floristics, mammal remains, paleoinsects, pollen, macrofossils, plant cuticles, phytoliths, stable isotopes, and modeling) that elucidate the composition and character of the graminoid-dominated ecosystems of the Pleistocene Arctic. The past thirty years have seen a renewed interest in this now-extinct biome, sometimes referred to a...
متن کاملThe Arctic Ocean Spices Up
The contemporary Arctic Ocean differs markedly from midlatitude, ice-free, and relatively warm oceans in the context of density-compensating temperature and salinity variations. These variations are invaluable tracers in the midlatitudes, revealing essential fundamental physical processes of the oceans, on scales from millimeters to thousands of kilometers. However, in the cold Arctic Ocean, te...
متن کاملSea level variability in the Arctic Ocean from AOMIP models
[1] Monthly sea levels from five Arctic Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (AOMIP) models are analyzed and validated against observations in the Arctic Ocean. The AOMIP models are able to simulate variability of sea level reasonably well, but several improvements are needed to reduce model errors. It is suggested that the models will improve if their domains have a minimum depth less than 10 m...
متن کاملPan-Arctic distributions of continental runoff in the Arctic Ocean
Continental runoff is a major source of freshwater, nutrients and terrigenous material to the Arctic Ocean. As such, it influences water column stratification, light attenuation, surface heating, gas exchange, biological productivity and carbon sequestration. Increasing river discharge and thawing permafrost suggest that the impacts of continental runoff on these processes are changing. Here, a...
