Based on sedimentological, mineralogical, geochemical, and micropaleontological data on the comprehensively investigated Core ASV 1372, the late Pleistocene-Holocene sedimentation history is reconstructed for the Voring marginal plateau (continental margin of the Norwegian Sea). The age model is constructed based on the correlation with several adjacent cores, for which the AMS radiocarbon dates are available. Lithostratigraphic correlation made it possible to compare stratigraphic division of Core ASV 1372 with other cores recovered from the Voring Plateau and the shelf and continental slope off the central Norway. It is concluded that the compositional and structural features of sediments are correlated with paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic changes, variations in provenances, as well as agents and pathways of sedimentary material transport.
