  • Arctic archaeological sites threatened by climate change

    Open AccessRasmus Fenger-Nielsen, R Fenger‐Nielsen et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2020Cited by: 5References: 41

    Climate change threatens many well‐preserved archaeological sites in the Arctic. The paper presents the first Arctic multi‐threat assessment focusing on the Nuuk region of Greenland. The results suggest that the majority of the 336 known archaeological sites are already exposed to impacts from microbial degradation, permafrost thaw and vegetation, and that these impacts will increase over the next 80 years. Additional impacts from coastal erosion…

  • Bathymetric control of Holocene spit migration in a lacustrine environment

    Open AccessNiels Emil Søe, Aart Kroon et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2018Cited by: 1References: 3

    Wave processes are well known for developing spit systems in large or elongated lakes by inducing longshore sediment transport for spit migration, while bathymetric interaction is less studied. In this study, we investigate the combined effects of wave processes, antecedent topography and lake level changes on the development of Holocene spit systems in the Danish lake Mossø. Wave climate prediction and a digital elevation model were used to prov…

  • Deltas, freshwater discharge, and waves along the Young Sound, NE Greenland

    Open AccessAart Kroon, Jakob Abermann et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2017References: 19

    A wide range of delta morphologies occurs along the fringes of the Young Sound in Northeast Greenland due to spatial heterogeneity of delta regimes. In general, the delta regime is related to catchment and basin characteristics (geology, topography, drainage pattern, sediment availability, and bathymetry), fluvial discharges and associated sediment load, and processes by waves and currents. Main factors steering the Arctic fluvial discharges into…

  • Changes in Holocene relative sea-level and coastal morphology

    Open AccessMikkel Ulfeldt Hede, Lore Sanders et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2015Cited by: 2References: 10

    Changes in relative sea-level (RSL) during the Holocene are reconstructed based on ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data collected across a raised beach ridge system on the island of Samsø, Denmark. The internal architecture of the beach ridge and swale deposits is divided into characteristic radar facies. We identify downlap points interpreted to mark the transition from the beachface to the upper shoreface and, thus, sea-level at the time of depo…

  • Joint interpretation of beach-ridge architecture and coastal topography show the validity of sea-level markers observed in ground-penetrating radar data

    Open AccessMikkel Ulfeldt Hede, Mette Bendixen et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2013Cited by: 1References: 5

    Geological studies of past and present sea level rely on valid and robust features marking sea level in geological sections. Present sea-level markers around the upper shoreface to beachface transition are detected in a beach-ridge plain formed in a microtidal regime. These sea-level markers identify specific relative sea levels at the time of formation. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data collected across the youngest part of the beach-ridge sys…

  • Fluctuations of sediment accumulation rates in front of an Arctic delta in Greenland

    Open AccessJørn Bjarke Torp Pedersen, Aart Kroon et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2013Cited by: 1References: 7

    An automated layer counting technique is developed to estimate the chronology of a marine sediment core and this technique is validated with Pb 210 chronology. The marine sediment core was sampled in front of the delta of Mittivakkat Glacier meltwater river in the Sermilik Fjord, SE Greenland, and is a proxy of the sediment delivery from a glacial drainage basin to a fjord. The estimated time series was based on automatic lamination detection (va…

  • At the edge

    Open AccessB Gronnow, Hans Christian Gullov et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2011Cited by: 6References: 14

    A multi-disciplinary study of settlement in north-east Greenland found that life in this High Arctic zone was actually favoured by the climate brought in by the Little Ice Age (fifteenth-nineteenth century). Extensive ice cover meant high mobility, and the rare polynyas - small patches of permanently open coastal water - provided destinations, like oases, where huge numbers of migrating marine mammals and birds congregated. One such place was Wal…

  • Coastal environments around Thule settlements in Northeast Greenland

    Aart Kroon, Bjarne Holm Jakobsen et al.ARTICLEGeografisk Tidsskrift-Danish…2010Cited by: 6References: 10

    Inuit have travelled to and settled in the coastal landscapes of Northeast Greenland for several longer periods during the latest ca. 4500 years. Most recently the Thule culture Inuit lived in the region from around 1400 until 1850 AD. The access to partly and periodically ice covered near coastal waters has been crucial to the primarily marine based subsistence strategy of the Thule Inuit culture, and their settlements are therefore found immedi…
