This award supports a multi-disciplinary study (sedimentology, paleontology, and oxygen-isotope stratigraphy) of glacial sediments in the Kara and Barents Seas. At present, melting of ice sheets that are known to have existed cannot explain completely the well documented post-glacial rise in sea-level. An ice sheet in the Kara and Barents Seas region could have contributed substantially to post-glacial sea-level rise. The goal of this study is to determine the extent of an ice sheet that is thought to have existed in this region during the last glacial maxima, the timing of its disintegration or retreat, and its potential for contributing to post-glacial sea-level rise.

该奖项支持多学科研究（沉积学， 古生物学和氧同位素地层学） 在喀拉海和巴伦支海 目前，冰盖的融化 并不能完全解释这口井 记录了冰后期海平面的上升 一个冰盖在 喀拉海和巴伦支海区域本可作出重大贡献， 冰川期后海平面上升。 本研究的目的是 来确定被认为是 在最后一次盛冰期， 它的解体或撤退， 导致冰后期海平面上升。
