Ice Sheet/Ocean Interactions, East Greenland Continental Margin During the Last 14,000 Years

9224254安德鲁斯该奖项支持一项研究东格陵兰岛内大陆架和峡湾沉积物岩心的计划。 其目的是确定古气候条件和了解冰盖海洋的相互作用，在晚第四纪。 该项目将利用氧同位素、碳-14年龄、底栖有孔虫和沉积物来源研究，对该地区的古环境条件进行高分辨率的历史研究。 该项目将提供资料，说明第四纪晚期东格陵兰内大陆架海冰覆盖的范围和持续时间，以及北极盆地陆基冰融化所产生的淡水排放情况。 这项工作的结果应该是有用的，以帮助限制气候变化模型，正在开发的格陵兰冰盖项目（GISP）冰芯。 ***

9224254 Andrews This award supports a program to study sediment cores from the inner continental shelf and fjords of East Greenland. The goals are to determine paleoclimatic conditions and to understand ice- sheet ocean interactions during the late Quaternary. The project will use oxygen isotopes, carbon-14 ages, benthic foraminifera, and sediment provenance studies to develop a high resolution history of the paleoenvironmental conditions in the region. This project will develop information about the extent and duration of sea ice cover on the inner continental shelf of East Greenland during the late Quaternary and about discharge of freshwater from melting of land based ice in the Arctic Basin. The results of this work should be useful to help constrain models of climate change that are being developed from the Greenland Ice Sheet Project (GISP) ice core. ***
