   Abstract : The mid-Atlantic ridge connects with land at the Reykjanes peninsula, Southwest Iceland. Iceland extends well over the whole ridge and allows for representative surface observations of sea-floor processes. Across the Peninsula the plate boundary is characterized by a rift zone, which encompasses leaky transform fault zone characteristics. READ MORE

3. 2. Magnetic grain-size analyses of Holocene sediments in the North Atlantic and Norwegian Sea : palaeoceanographic applications

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Torbjörn Wall; [2004]
   Keywords : magnetic grain-size; magnetic hysteresis loops; Reykjanes Ridge; Vøring plateau; North Atlantic; Norwegian Sea; deep ocean currents; Holocene; magnetisk kornstorlek; magnetiska hysteresis-lopar; Reykjanesryggen; Vøringplatån; Nordatlanten; Norska havet; djuphavsströmmar; Holocen; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : High-resolution magnetic hysteresis measurements were carried out on three sediment cores, one from the North Atlantic and two from the Norwegian Sea. These measurements can be used to reconstruct changes in magnetic grain-size. Physical grain-size has been interpreted as a proxy for bottom current intensity (McCave et al. READ MORE
