Record #104190:

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.
