only detect the edges of the bloom where ice concentrations have fallen to zero. This leaves ocean modelling as the only means of examining aspects of SIZ blooms over large areas and over the full growth [...] model to provide the first estimates of bloom magnitude and dynamics. Specifically, the study will assess: 1) the relative importance of wind, sea-ice history and insolation; 2) the inter-annual variability [...] geographical extent and intensity of SIZ blooms over the last 10 years; 3) the amount and variability of biomass rendered invisible to satellites by the presence of sea-ice.

ntal development of this area during the Holocene - the last century in particular - and will be analyzed at high temporal resolution. The overarching goal of the proposed study is to assess, based on [...] geochemical proxies, whether the effects of regional warming at WAP are reflected in the sediment geochemistry and if such episodes did occur during other intervals within the Holocene. DFG-Verfahren: I [...] Projektbeschreibung The Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) belongs to those regions, which are characterized by rapid regional warming and concomitant glacier retreat, affecting the coastal ecosystem by

During the ANDRILL-MIS project, for the first time, a 1000 m thick Plio-Pleistocene sediment sequence will be drilled from underneath the Ross McMurdo Ice Shelf (Antarctica). The variations of the ice shelf [...] controlled by the natural dynamic of the Antarctic ice sheets, by sea level fluctuations and by direct response of the ice shelf to climate changes. Geological evidence of ice shelf variations in the past is [...] provenance signals. Our major goal is a better understanding of the long-term evolution and stability of the Ross Ice Shelf as important part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet for assessing future impacts of Antarctic
