Tine Lander Rasmussen

Professor Tine Lander Rasmussen at the Department of Geosciences, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, specializes in paleoceanography, climate change, and Arctic marine environments. Her work integrates sedimentological, micropaleontological, and geochemical analyses to study past ocean dynamics, methane seepage, and sea ice variability.

• Research focus: Quaternary climate transitions, cold seep systems, and Arctic-Nordic Seas interactions.
• Key projects include the study of the former Norske Trough ice stream and the impact of Heinrich Stadials on sea ice-ocean coupling.

Recent publications analyze millennial-scale methane seepage, glacial-interglacial sedimentation control, and Arctic freshwater outflow effects on ocean circulation. Collaborative efforts span marine calcifier seasonality, planktonic foraminifera distribution, and Storegga tsunami contamination in cold climate records.

Her work contributes to understanding Arctic climate systems through marine sediment proxies, with implications for modern climate modeling and oceanic heat transport studies.
