On the tectonic evolution and paleoceanographic significance of the Fram Strait gateway / Y. Kristoffersen.
Title: | On the tectonic evolution and paleoceanographic significance of the Fram Strait gateway / Y. Kristoffersen. |
Author(s): | Kristoffersen, Y. |
Date: | 1990. |
Publisher: | Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic |
In: | Geological history of the polar oceans : Arctic versus Antarctic. (1990.), |
Abstract: | On basis of plate tectonics and poorly known depositional history of shelves between Svalbard and Greenland we may infer that shallow-water connection between Arctic Ocean and Norwegian Sea had probably been established by Late Oligocene. By Middle Miocene passage may have deepened to about 2 km. Sediments indicate only moderate control by bottom currents and intensity of deep circulation has varied little. Suggests that Greenland-Faroe Ridge has always represented shallower barrier than Fram Strait, and constrained deep water of Arctic seas to circulate internally, with moderate rates of deep-water exchange between Eurasian Basin and Greenland-Norwegian Sea. |
