Expedition 347 summary

Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 347 aimed to retrieve sediments from different settings of the Baltic Sea, encompassing the last interglacial–glacial cycle to address scientific questions along four main research themes: 1. Climate and sea level dynamics of marine isotope Stage (MIS) 5, including onsets and terminations; 2. Complexities of the latest glacial, MIS 4–MIS 2; 3. Glacial and Holocene (MIS 2–MIS 1) climate forcing; and 4. Deep biosphere in Baltic Sea Basin (BSB) sediments.
