The AA. analyse ice cores from Vestfonna ice cap (Nordaustlandet, Svalbard). Density profiles and oxygen isotopic measurements were made on 3 firn cores from the 2 highest summits of the glacier located on the SW–NE and NW–SE central ridges
. The results were used in order to extract recent climate information missing for the last 20 years and compare precipitation regimes and provenance at the 2 sites. These new data can be used to extend the data from the earlier deeper cores into the twenty
This study presents the results of benthic foraminiferal analyses of a marine core record from about 100 m water depth in the fjord environment of Isvika bay, Nordaustlandet, Svalbard. These results contribute to the understanding of environmental
