Quaternary Calcareous Nannofossil Biostratigraphy: The Eastern Arctic Ocean Record

  • Chapter
The Arctic Seas

Abstract

This investigation was undertaken to study the calcareous nannofossils in sediment cores from the European Arctic Ocean, north of 80° latitude, in order to establish the biochronology and to correlate sediments over wide areas. Another objective was to decipher changes of paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic conditions in the study area.
