The planned project is closely affiliated to the working program and targets of the R/V “Maria S. Merian” expedition to West Greenland in the summer 2007. The work program of the R/V “Maria S. Merian” expedition focuses on seismic profiling in the fjords and on the shelf, collection of marine sediment cores, and onshore geodetic measurements along a west-east transect in order to reconstruct the deglaciation history, the coastal development, and environmental changes during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. Within the scope of the project applied for here the working program of the R/V “Maria S. Merian” expedition shall be extended by onshore activities in collaboration with the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS, Denmark) and the University of Durham (UK). The main objective of the planned onshore activities is the collection of lake sediment sequences along altitude transects in outer, central, and inner Nordre Strømfjord in order to complement the information obtained by the marine geological investigations. Thus, a better understanding of the regional pattern of ice movements, relative sea-level changes, and climate evolution, and of the related reasons, can be achieved.

计划中的项目与R/V“Maria S”的工作计划和目标密切相关。2007年夏天，梅里安对西格陵兰的探险。R/V“Maria S. Merian”考察的重点是峡湾和陆架的地震剖面、海洋沉积物岩心的收集以及沿沿着东西向断面的陆上大地测量，以重建晚更新世和全新世期间的冰川消退历史、海岸发展和环境变化。在这里申请的项目范围内，R/V“Maria S.梅里安”考察将通过与丹麦和格陵兰地质调查局（GEUS，丹麦）和达勒姆大学（英国）合作开展陆上活动来扩展。计划的陆上活动的主要目标是收集北部斯特朗峡湾外部、中部和内部沿着海拔剖面的湖泊沉积物序列，以补充海洋地质调查获得的信息。因此，可以更好地了解冰运动的区域模式，相对海平面变化和气候演变及其相关原因。
