Post-glaciation depositional changes in Wijdefjorden, northern Svalbard, using grain-size end-member modelling
Grain-size end-member (EM) modelling is a robust statistical approach for identifying and quantifying dominant grain-size distributions. This approach provides a novel perspective for understanding the impact of interactions between depositional processes in complex sedimentary environments. This study examines grain-size distributions of six glacimarine sediment cores collected along an NS transect from the continental shelf to the Wijdefjorden system in northern Svalbard. In addition, we integrate grain-size EMs with lithologic and acoustic facies, allowing us to identify three distinct groups of EMs (EM1–3), each closely associated with specific depositional processes: turbid meltwater discharge (EM1), sediment winnowing by bottom currents (EM2), and the deposition of ice-rafted debris in glacimarine conditions and subglacial till (EM3). An analysis of the three EM groups reveals that the glacial retreat during the last deglaciation and the Atlantic Water inflow significantly impacted depositional changes within the Wijdefjorden system. In contrast, a decrease in the Atlantic Water inflow during the late Holocene corresponds to glacial re-advance, resulting in shifts in the depositional environment. This study demonstrates the utility of EM modelling in deciphering complex grain-size distributions and reconstructing different climate-driven depositional processes in glacimarine sediments in Svalbard fjords. This integrated approach enhances our understanding of the intricate interplay among climate change, glacier dynamics, and oceanic forcing in polar fjord environments.
期刊介绍:
Marine Geology is the premier international journal on marine geological processes in the broadest sense. We seek papers that are comprehensive, interdisciplinary and synthetic that will be lasting contributions to the field. Although most papers are based on regional studies, they must demonstrate new findings of international significance. We accept papers on subjects as diverse as seafloor hydrothermal systems, beach dynamics, early diagenesis, microbiological studies in sediments, palaeoclimate studies and geophysical studies of the seabed. We encourage papers that address emerging new fields, for example the influence of anthropogenic processes on coastal/marine geology and coastal/marine geoarchaeology. We insist that the papers are concerned with the marine realm and that they deal with geology: with rocks, sediments, and physical and chemical processes affecting them. Papers should address scientific hypotheses: highly descriptive data compilations or papers that deal only with marine management and risk assessment should be submitted to other journals. Papers on laboratory or modelling studies must demonstrate direct relevance to marine processes or deposits. The primary criteria for acceptance of papers is that the science is of high quality, novel, significant, and of broad international interest.
