Eastern Atlantic Paleoclimate Cruise
Multi-week oceanographic expedition focused on recovering long, undisturbed piston cores along the continental slope offshore North-West Africa. Responsible for shipboard sediment core splitting, smear slide micropaleontology, and initial stratigraphy logging.
Equatorial Atlantic & Upwelling Zone
Investigating the spatial variability of organic carbon burial and biological productivity associated with coastal upwelling systems. Multi-corer sampling of modern seafloor fluff layer and high-resolution gravity core deployment.
Coastal Lagoon & Estuary Fieldwork
High-precision vibracoring and manual Russian peat coring across coastal marshes, estuaries, and barrier lagoons to track Holocene sea-level oscillations and extreme storm surge deposition layers.
Atmospheric Dust & Pollen Trap Monitoring
Establishing coastal and inland aerosol collection stations to calibrate modern pollen transport vectors against atmospheric dust storms and seasonal wind trajectories across North Africa.
