ICE2SEA

这项拟议的研究将填补关于北极海冰、冰川和气候条件在过去12000年的间冰期是如何变化的知识空白。在夏季和冬季，北冰洋正经历着巨大的变化，海冰变薄并进一步向北退缩。海冰的退缩极大地影响了北冰洋周围陆地的气候条件。位于这些陆地上的冰盖正逐渐暴露在更温暖的气候条件下，这引发了表面融化和质量损失的增加，也使冰盖退缩。我的研究计划ICE2SEA的长期愿景是调查冰在当前间冰期如何影响气候系统。我将利用我在冰芯科学方面的专业知识，并将其与马尼托巴大学地球观测科学中心的海冰专业知识相结合，通过与加拿大大学的冰和气候相关研究小组合作，组建一支强大的加拿大研究团队。长期目标是利用过去的知识来改进对未来气候变化和冰冻圈将如何改变北方条件的预测。第一个五年，我将使用在Axel Heiberg岛的m<s:1> llers冰帽上钻探冰芯的仪器，形成一个研究项目。该计划将在加拿大建立新的创新研究领域，并培养新一代HQP。这项为期五年的研究计划的具体问题是：1)在过去的一千年里，北冰洋的海冰状况是如何变化的？在过去的几千年里，北极冰盖经历了什么样的气候条件？3)冰川、海冰变化与气候变化之间的关系是什么？主要的假设是，在深层冰芯中发现的卤素溴可以为北冰洋海冰过去的延伸提供信息。ICE2SEA的首个五年项目将包括一名博士生、三名博士、一名司钻和几个硕士和本科项目。这些项目将与来自其他大学的研究人员共同监督，以形成一个强有力的HQP环境的国家和国际网络。Axel Heiberg岛位于加拿大北部，我与Grise Fjord社区（Aujuittuq）有联系，那里有重要的传统和当地知识。我将在这里雇用个人进行实地工作，并将寻找北方申请人的本科，研究生，博士和博士后职位。了解海冰对气候的依赖性对加拿大来说是非常重要的。在8000至5000年前的气候最佳时期，气温与现在一样温暖，因此此时的海冰范围将告诉我们未来气候变暖的情况。这对北方社区来说是非常重要的知识，对开辟北冰洋航线的愿景也很重要。

The proposed research will fill a knowledge gap on how the Arctic sea ice, glaciers, and climate conditions have changed through the present Interglacial period, the last 12,000 years. The Arctic Ocean is undergoing dramatic changes as sea ice thins and retreats further north during both summer and winter seasons. This sea ice retreat greatly affects the climatic conditions of the landmasses surrounding the Arctic Ocean. Ice caps situated on these landmasses are gradually being exposed to warmer climatic conditions, triggering an increase in surface melting and a loss of mass, making the ice caps retreat as well. The long-term vision of my research program ICE2SEA is to investigate how ice has influenced the climate system during the present interglacial period. I will use my expertise in ice core science and combine it with the sea ice expertise found in the Centre for Earth Observation Science at the University of Manitoba to form a strong Canadian research team through collaboration with Canadian universities with ice- and climate-related research groups. The long-term goal is to use the knowledge from the past to improve predictions on how the changing climate and cryosphere will change conditions in the North in the future. For the first five-year period, I will use the instrument of ice-core drilling through the Müllers Ice Cap on Axel Heiberg Island to form a research program. The program will build new and innovative research fields in Canada and train a new generation of HQP. The specific questions for the five-year research program are: 1) How did sea ice conditions change in the Arctic Ocean during past millennia ? 2) What climatic conditions did the Arctic ice caps experience during past millennia ? 3) What is the relationship between glaciers, sea ice change, and climate change ? The main hypothesis is that the halogen Bromine found in a deep ice core can inform on the past extension of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean. The inaugural five-year program in ICE2SEA will include one PDF, three PhDs, one driller, and several Master's- and undergraduate-level projects. The projects will be co-supervised with researchers from other universities to form a strong national and international network for the HQP environment. Axel Heiberg Island is in Northern Canada and I have contact with the Grise Fjord community (Aujuittuq) were important traditional and local knowledge is available. I will hire personal here for the field work and will look for Northern applicants for the undergraduate, graduate, PhD's an PostDoc positions. Knowledge of the dependence of sea ice on climate is of strong interest for Canada. Temperatures were as warm as present 8000 to 5000 years ago in the Climatic Optimum so the sea ice extent at this time will inform us on what to expect in the future warming climate. This is very important knowledge for the Northern communities, and has importance for the visions of opening of shipping routes in the Arctic Ocean.
