Within the proposed project we want to study ice-ocean-climate interactions that potentially affected the stability of the East Antarctic Ice sheet from the late Pleistocene until present day. We select a multi-proxy approach to integrate evidence from terrestrial, lacustrine and marine sedimentary archives. Additionally, mumiyo deposits are used as archives to close the gap between the ice-proximal lacustrine and terrestrial and ice-distal open-marine archives. Three target regions were defined to exemplarily study different processes of ice-ocean-climate interaction: Central Dronning Maud Land and the adjacent ocean, Mawson Coast, part of the Mac. Robertson Land, and Thala Hills, an un-glaciated coastal site at Prince Olav Coast, Enderby Land.Reconstructions in the respective regions will include the temporal development of post-glacial ice retreat and the prevailing climatic conditions. Furthermore, biomarker and stable isotope analyses on marine sediments and mumiyo will be used to study the temporal variability of sea ice extent and polynya activity. Both parameters influence energy and gas exchange between atmosphere and ocean and ocean circulation, which interact with the ice sheet and ultimately affect ice sheet stability.

在拟议的项目中，我们希望研究冰山气候相互作用，这些相互作用可能会影响东南极冰盖从更新世晚期到今天的稳定性。我们选择了一种多种方法来整合陆地，湖泊和海洋沉积档案的证据。此外，使用Mumiyo沉积物用作档案，以弥合冰二湖与陆地和冰脱水的野生档案的差距。定义了三个目标区域，以示例研究冰山气候互动的不同过程：中央德罗宁·莫德（Dronning Maud Land）和邻近的海洋，莫森海岸（MAWSON COAST），Mac的一部分。罗伯逊·兰德（Robertson Land）和塔拉·希尔斯（Thala Hills）是恩德比土地（Enderby Land）的奥拉夫王子沿岸的非冰河沿海地区。各个地区的重建将包括冰川后的冰静脉休息和盛行的气候条件的时间发展。此外，对海洋沉积物和Mumiyo的生物标志物和稳定的同位素分析将用于研究海冰范围和Polynya活性的时间变异性。这两个参数都会影响大气与海洋和海洋循环之间的能量和气体交换，这些参数与冰盖相互作用，最终影响冰盖稳定性。
