%X Abstract Arctic and subarctic regions are sensitive to climate change and, reversely, provide dramatic feedbacks to the global climate. With a focus on discovering paleoclimate and paleoceanographic evolution in the Arctic and Northwest Pacific Oceans during the last 20,000 years, we proposed this German¨CSino cooperation program according to the announcement ˇ°Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) of the Federal Republic of Germany for a German¨CSino cooperation program in the marine and polar researchˇ±. Our proposed program integrates the advantages of the Arctic and Subarctic marine sediment studies in AWI (Alfred Wegener Institute) and FIO (First Institute of Oceanography). For the first time, the collection of sediment cores can cover all climatological key regions in the Arctic and Northwest Pacific Oceans. Furthermore, the climate modeling work at AWI enables a ˇ°Data-Model Synthesesˇ±, which are crucial for exploring the underlying mechanisms of observed changes in proxy records. View Full-Tex
