Let me tell you more about sediments

GEOMAR - I shell return

Last day in @geomarkiel.bsky.social (for now) as we wrapped up discussions on expedition #M197 and made plans for the future on @www.helmholtz.de project #EMSFORE.
Always great talking to people as excited as me about the past and future of the seas.

Sedimentologists, pretending to be a geochemist, explain physical properties to marine biologists.

Finished a second intensive day of the #EMSFORE workshop in @geomarkiel.bsky.social, discussing initial results from the #M197 cruise. It is rare to integrate oceanography, sedimentology, geophysics, biochemistry, biogeography, and ocean chemistry in such a way.

Fish!

Crab!

Rays! (also, me)

First, intensive, day of the #EMSFORE workshop done, with a hands-on sensor deployment and retrieval exercise, and trip to the @geomarkiel.bsky.social aquarium.

It's grey and rainy, so a normal day in Keil

It's a grey and rainy day, and I'm at @geomarkiel.bsky.social for a meeting of the Helmholtz project #EMSFORE for some exciting discussion of biogeochemistry and oceanography of the eastern Mediterranean as an early warning system for marine climate change. 🧪🌊
