Description
The history book of ice-ocean interactions in West Antarctica. This project investigates how during past geologic episodes of rapid warming the ice sheets on West Antarctica interacted with the surrounding ocean. What was the role of sea ice? And did the ocean induce ice-sheet changes or the other way around? By investigating ocean sediment cores collected from near the ice-sheet, we will reconstruct ice-sheet and ocean changes during the Pleistocene and Pliocene, 100.000 and 3.000.000 years ago. This research contributes fundamentally to more accurate predictions of future ice-sheet melting and associated sea-level rise as a result of climate warming.
