Background The behavior of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) under projected anthropogenic warming is a key uncertainty in predicting future sea-level rise due to the influence of strong ice-ocean feedbacks, which are poorly understood. Reconstructing and disentangling these feedbacks during past warmer-than-present climate states is considered to provide an enhanced basis for improved prediction of future changes in the ice-ocean-climate system. For such, marine sediment cores collected from the last Polarstern expedition (PS128) will be investigated.
