It’s is going to be a busy week for the WALDO project PhD students. Tomorrow (5/03) they will attend the BELQUA 2024 Annual Scientific workshop. On Wednesday (6/03) they will attend the 2024 VLIZ Marine Science Day and they will each present a poster presentation. One poster presentation is focused on the North Axial Channel, where new seismic and vibrocore data was gathered on the last survey (October 2023). This data shows a complex incisional and depositional system and tries to entangle the palaeogeographical evolution of the North (inner) Axial Channel. The other poster will present preliminary results from the areas south of Dogger Bank and Oyster Ground, by the gathered data of the November 2022 and October 2023 survey. This data shows stratigraphic and geomorphic indicators that point to a complex and dynamic environment during the last glacial cycle.
The weekend of 9-10 March is going to be core-scanning weekend at UZ Ghent. A great number of cores will be CT-scanned at the hospital, so stay tuned for some sneak peaks of this on our Instagram/Facebook page!
