dc.description.abstract | Clay-mineral, heavy-mineral, and elemental distributions in sediments from the Arctic Ocean and the adjacent Laptev and Kara seas can be attributed to the geology of the hinterland and the transport of terrigenous material by rivers onto the shelves. Kara Sea sediments are characterized by increased contents of smectite and elevated Ni/Al-, Ti/Al-, and Cr/Al ratios. In the western Laptev Sea sediments are enriched in smectite and clinopyroxene and increased in Ti/Al-, Cr/Al-, and Ca/Al ratios. The composition of the sediments reflects suspended matter input from the large trap basalt of the Putoran Mountains. The eastern Laptev Sea sediments display increased illite and amphibole contents as well as a chemical composition similar to average shale. This composition is due to the discharge from the Lena and Yana rivers, which drain a large catchment area consisting of sedimentary Mesozoic and Paleozoic rocks. Material from the eastern Laptev Sea is transported by ocean currents and sediment-laden sea ice along the Transpolar Drift into the central Arctic Ocean. This is indicated by similar values of Ti/Al-, Cr/Al-, Rb/Al-, and K/Al ratios as well as increased concentrations of amphibole and illite, determined in sediments from the Lomonosov Ridge. A minor input from the Beaufort Sea into the central Arctic Ocean is suggested from increased Ca/Al ratios and increased contents of opaque minerals. | |
