Here we examine the history of sea ice activity recorded in the Core LV87-54-1 recovered from the northern Okhotsk Sea shelf using high-resolution grain-size analyses. We extracted 3 end members and use EM3 as the sea-ice proxy, using the program AnalySize to conduct end members analyses on the data. According to EM3 results, active sea ice was persistently predominant in the northern Okhotsk Sea shelf since the Last Glacial Maximum. The EM3 content was high and the sea ice activity was intense during the Last Glacial Maximum and Heinrich Stadial 1. The climate cooling at the middle and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere and the negative Arctic Oscillation were the main controlling mechanism for sea ice expansion during glacial periods. And weakened runoff from the Amur caused by decreased East Asian Summer Monsoon would allow more sea ice formation in the Okhotsk Sea. Sea ice formation decreased at the onset of the Bølling-Allerød warm period, and then decreased sharply after a slight peak during the Younger Dryas Event. EM3 levels remained low stably since the Holocene due to: increased local autumn insolation, positive Arctic Oscillation and enhanced East Asian Summer Monsoon suppresses subsequent sea ice formation.
