Benthic foraminifers as tools to reconstruct high-latitude Holocene climate variability and processes during cold-water coral mound growth and development

Cold-water corals occur worldwide from high latitudes to tropical areas, in various settings from the deep-sea to shallow marine environments near the coast. The topic of this thesis is the establishment and extension of knowledge about environmental conditions controlling cold-water coral (CWC) mound development. From literature it is known that glacial-interglacial cycles drive development and g...
