    Description / Table of Contents: The oceans are an integral and important part of the global climate system. It is now widely accepted that human activities are inducing global climatic change. However, definitive evidence for climatic change driven by mankind remains elusive, despite extensive research. One reason for this is the significant role that oceans play in regulating the climate system's response to change. The oceans store immense amounts of heat and moisture, acting as a giant flywheel to the climate system, moderating change but prolonging it once change commences. The oceans also store vast amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide, thus having a possible regulating effect on greenhouse warming driven by human activity. How is carbon dioxide and heat stored in the ocean? Are these mechanisms sensitive to climatic change? Could they interact with climatic change itself to accentuate or regulate such change? The exploration of these questions, among others, underlies this book. The interaction between the oceans and the atmosphere - and hence the climate - is complex and multi-faceted, requiring an understanding of many processes bridging conventional scientific disciplines. After a general introduction to the climate system, successive chapters describe how physical, biological and chemical processes combine to affect the ocean-atmosphere interaction over timescales from minutes to millenia, and their role in affecting climatic change in the past, present and future. This comprehensive textbook introducing the multi-disciplinary controls on the ocean-atmosphere interaction will prove an ideal course and reference book for undergraduates studying earth and environmental sciences, oceanography, meteorology and climatology. The book will also be useful for students and teachers of geography, physics, chemistry, and biology.

    In:  Supplement to: Andrews, John T; Bigg, Grant R; Wilton, David J (2014): Holocene ice-rafting and sediment transport from the glaciated margin of East Greenland (67–70°N) to the N Iceland shelves: detecting and modelling changing sediment sources. Quaternary Science Reviews, 91, 204-217, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2013.08.019

    Description: We examine variations in the ice-rafted sources for sediments in the Iceland/East Greenland offshore marine archives by utilizing a sediment unmixing model and link the results to a coupled iceberg-ocean model. Surface samples from around Iceland and along the E/NE Greenland shelf are used to define potential sediment sources, and these are examined within the context of the down-core variations in mineralogy in the 〈2 mm sediment fraction from a transect of cores across Denmark Strait. A sediment unmixing model is used to estimate the fraction of sediment 〈2 mm off NW and N Iceland exported across Denmark Strait; this averaged between 10 and 20%. Both the sediment unmixing model and the coupled iceberg-ocean model are consistent in finding that the fraction of "far-travelled" sediments in the Denmark Strait environs is overwhelmingly of local, mid-East Greenland, provenance, and therefore with a significant cross-channel component to their travel. The Holocene record of ice-rafted sediments denotes a three-part division of the Holocene in terms of iceberg sediment transport with a notable increase in the process starting ca 4000 cal yr BP. This latter increase may represent the re-advance during the Neoglacial period of land-terminating glaciers on the Geikie Plateau to become marine-terminating. The contrast in spectral signals between these cores and the 1500-yr cycle at VM28-14, just south of the Denmark Strait, combined with the coupled iceberg-model results, leads us to speculate that the signal at VM28-14 reflects pulses in overflow waters, rather than an ice-rafted signal.
