Early decay of the Barents Shelf Ice Sheet - spread of stable isotope signals across the eastern Norwegian Sea
- 1. University of Kiel, Department of Geology (Germany)
Description
Based on planktonic δ18O records from 16 sediment cores obtained from the Norwegian Sea, the authors traced a meltwater signal marking the onset of Termination I. From its discharge point south of Bear Island, it spread alongshore the Norwegian margin up to 63oN, thereby suggesting a clockwise-= directed drift of icebergs and surface water in the Norwegian Sea, the opposite of the present circulation pattern. 13 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab
