A two-millennium dinoflagellate cyst record from Gullmar Fjord, a Swedish Skagerrak sill fjord

Tsunamis in Sweden: Occurrence and Characteristics

“…An inferred age of the "turbidite" in the Gullmar Fjord core of 1174 AD fits perfectly well with the time/depth curve of [30]. I therefore, quite confidently, re-evaluate this layer as a tsunamite of the 1174 paleoseismic event [27].…”

“…Having established this, it is possible to re-evaluate a turbidite record from the Gullmar Fjord [30] 230 km to the NW in terms of a tsunamite (Figure 17). Figure 17.…”

“…Figure 17. The time/depth relations of core 9004 [30] and the position of the "turbidite" here revised in terms of a tsunamite of the 1174 AD earthquake event.…”

Tracing winter temperatures over the last two millennia using a north-east Atlantic coastal record

“…Another half was stored as an archive at the Department of Geosciences, University of Gothenburg. The TC and stable carbon isotope data from both cores are published in , dinoflagellate cysts data are discussed in Harland et al (2006Harland et al ( , 2013, while C / N and foraminiferal assemblage data are presented in Filipsson and Nordberg (2004a), Polovodova et al (2011) and Polovodova Asteman et al (2013). We also present data from the gravity core G113-091, collected at the same location as GA113-2Aa and 9004 onboard R/V Skagerak in September 2009; this data is only used herein (similar to our previous study) to create a composite age model for the GA113-2Aa and 9004 cores see below).…”

“…The fjord basin has high sediment accumulation rates, which provide a high temporal resolution corresponding to 1-6 years per 1 cm thick sediment sample. Finally, the fjord sediment archive is characterized by the diverse and abundant foraminiferal fauna and dinoflagellate cysts, which have already provided insight into climate evolution and the associated environmental changes on the Swedish west coast during the last two millennia Nordberg, 2004a, 2010;Harland et al, 2006Harland et al, , 2013Nordberg et al, 2009;Polovodova et al, 2011;Polovodova Asteman and Nordberg, 2013;Polovodova Asteman et al, 2013).…”
