The timing, extent and configuration of the Late Weichselian Barents ice sheet has been
debated for several decades. This debate has arisen largely because of the limited or …

In order to compare radiocarbon dates on marine and terrestrial samples the former have to
be corrected for a reservoir age. We present reservoir ages from dating 21 whales collected …

We present a new time‐slice reconstruction of the Eurasian ice sheets (British–Irish,
Svalbard–Barents–Kara Seas and Scandinavian) documenting the spatial evolution of these …

A new high resolution global model of late Pleistocene deglaciation is inferred on the basis
of geophysical predictions of postglacial relative sea level variations in which the ice‐ocean …

On Spitsbergen, western Svalbard, three major glacial advances have been identified
during the Weichselian. All three reached the continental shelf west of the Svalbard …

We synthesize the current understanding of glacier activity on Svalbard from the end of the
Late Pleistocene (12,000 yrs. before present) to the end of the Little Ice Age (c. 1920 AD) …

The pattern of postglacial emergence in the Barents Sea is pivotal to constraining the timing
of deglaciation and extent and thickness of the last ice sheet in northern Eurasia. This review …

The bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) is a planktivore of the baleen group of whales
adapted to live in the loose edges of the north polar sea ice. Its annual migrations roughly …

The history of research on the Late Quaternary Svalbard–Barents Sea ice sheet mirrors the
developments of ideas and the shifts of paradigms in glacial theory over the past 150 years …

Most scientists have concluded previously that the west coast of Spitsbergen, Svalbard,
remained ice-free during the late Weichselian, between 25,000 and 10,000 yr BP We …
