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-海洋-气候的相互作用，这些相互作用可能会影响南极东部冰盖从晚更新世到现在的稳定性。我们选择了一个多代理的方法来整合证据，从陆地，湖泊和海洋沉积档案。此外，mumiyo存款被用作档案，以关闭冰近端湖泊和陆地和冰远端开放海洋档案之间的差距。三个目标区域被定义为典型地研究冰-海洋-气候相互作用的不同过程：中央德龙宁毛德地和邻近的海洋，莫森海岸，Mac的一部分。罗伯逊地和塔拉山，在王子奥拉夫海岸，恩德比地的一个未冰川化的沿海网站。在各自的地区的重建将包括冰后期冰退缩的时间发展和主要的气候条件。此外，还将对海洋沉积物和mumiyo进行生物标志物和稳定同位素分析，以研究海冰范围和冰间湖活动的时间变化。这两个参数都影响大气和海洋之间的能量和气体交换以及海洋环流，它们与冰盖相互作用，最终影响冰盖的稳定性。
