Systems Research of Sedimentation in the European Arctic during the 84th Cruise of the Research Vessel Akademik Mstislav Keldysh

Research regarding the conditions and processes of paleo- and modern sedimentation with an assessment of particles and pollution fluxes, with determination of the rates of biogeochemical processes and regional paleoclimatic reconstructions in the contact area of cold Polar and warm Atlantic water masses under the influence of cold (seep) and hot (hydrothermal) fluids were carried out during the expedition in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea Area and the Barents Sea. The consequences of atlantification are recorded in all components of the geosystems of the Barents Sea and the high-latitude Arctic as well as the reverse effect of the Arctic amplification on the geosystems of the northern North Atlantic occurring both at the present time and in the Pleistocene and Holocene.
