| 英文摘要 | Due to a complex set of feedback processes collectively known as "polar amplification", the Arctic realm is expected to experience a greater-than-average response to global climate forcing. At present, the region is characterised by an accelerating trend of climatic and environmental change. Rising temperatures are associated with loss of sea ice and melting of continental ice masses. The excess melting water is routed into the North Atlantic, where it may interfere with the formation of deep water and thus affect the global large-scale oceanic circulation. The cascades of feedback processes that connect the Arctic cryosphere, ocean and atmosphere remain incompletely constrained by observations and theory and are difficult to simulate in climate models. Still, state-of-the-art climate models often fail to reproduce observed instrumental trends as well as past regional climate response reconstructed from marine sediment archives. This is the starting point for this International Research Training Group. Its goal is to educate PhD students in an interdisciplinary environment combining the strength in marine geosciences, environmental physics and polar research in Bremen with complementary skills and expertise in sea-ice and ice-sheet modelling in a consortium of eight Canadian universities. The resulting scientific team with the PhD students in its centre aims to advance the understanding of the variability of the sub-Arctic ocean and the cryosphere on time scales of decades to millennia, to use these results to benchmark current trends and inform climate models to robustly assess the impact of projected future climate changes on the Arctic. The qualification programme for the PhD students includes joint supervision, research residences at partner institutions, field courses, annual meetings and training workshops and a challenging structured training in expert skills and transferrable skills. Its aim is to enhance the career prospects and employability of the graduates in a challenging international job market across academic and applied sectors. |
