To south, it connects Lambert-Amery Ice Shelf which is a key area to understand the East Antarctic Ice Sheet dynamic and reveal the interactions between sea and ice. In the thesis surface sediments of Prydz Bay and sediment core P4-01 gained from continental slope of the bay awere analysized, we disscussed the characteristic of grain size, minerals and their implications to sediment provenance; the evolution of nearly 520 kyr paleoceanographyic features in the northern continental slope of the bay were also discussed, and several conclusions were as drawn as follows: (1) Constrained by water depth/topography, currents and icebergs, sediment environment differes beyween different sectors of the bay. The shelf area can be subdivided into two sectors. In sector Ⅰ, including Fram Bank, area in front of Amery Ice Shelf, Cape Darnley (Burton Basin) and Four Ladies Bank, sediment contains more gravel, sand and Ice Rafted Detritus. Sediment supply is obviously influenced by Amery Ice Shelf and tidal glaciers, currents, icebergs, and their transport routine in the bay. In sector Ⅱ, includingAmery Basin, Prydz Channel and Svenner Channel, sediments contain more silt, while
