The studied record was found to cover the entire Holocene and indicates major turnovers in the palaeohydrography and sedimentary depositional history. The area was deglaciated at around 11,300 BP. The early Holocene has indications of rapid melting of glaciers and frequent deposition of ice−rafted debris (IRD). The climatic optimum terminated with a probable glacier re−advance event occurring ca. 5800 cal BP. This event caused the deposition of a diamicton unit in Isvika bay, followed by a shift towards a colder and a more stratified hydrographic set − ting. The reduction in IRD indicates gradual cooling, which led to the stratification of the bay and eventually to more persistent fast sea−ice conditions by 2500 cal BP. For the last 500 years, Isvika has again been seasonally open.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Holocene sedimentary environment of a High−Arctic fjord in Nordaustlandet, Svalbard}, URL={http://rhis.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/99567/PDF/10183_Volume35_Issue1_04_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/popore−2014−0006}, keywords={Arctic, Svalbard, Kinnvika, marine, sedimentology, climate change}, }
