EGU 2024

On the 15-19th of April, the EGU 2024 conference took place in Vienna (Austria). Morgan, one of the PhD students on the WALDO-project, presented preliminary results from a study area in the North Axial Channel (Southern North Sea). Both reflection-seismic data and cores were shown in a poster presentation, where some nice discussions and great talks followed.

The coming summer months will be busy for the WALDO project: core analysis (XRF) at the NIOZ institute (Texel, The Netherlands) in the beginning of May; (preparation for) the third WALDO survey with the RV Belgica in August; the QRA symposium at the end of August. Stay tuned by following the blog on the website, and our Instagram/Facebook page!

VLIZ Marine Science Day 2024

On Wednesday 6th of March the WALDO team attended the annual VLIZ Marine Science Day. The day was filled with pre-doc presentations, poster sessions during the breaks and workshops on climate/pollution/ecology.

The two PhD students presented preliminary results with a poster presentation. A few people interested in marine geology came by, as well as some members of the Seascapes Past & Future group (VLIZ) and other geologists. This lead to some nice discussions and interesting talks!

Poster: “Understanding the palaeogeographic evolution of the North Axial Channel, southern North Sea”
Poster: “Searching for seismic and sedimentary evidence for proglacial lakes during the last glaciation: First observations in the areas south of Dogger Bank and Oyster Ground (southern North Sea)” 

INQUA 2023 Congress

While withstanding the heatwave in Rome, the two PhD students managed to present their posters. Some lovely chats with multiple (North Sea) interested scientists lead to new ideas an opportunities for the WALDO-project. On Thursday & Friday 7-8th September, we will attend the QRA Postgraduate Symposium (online). The current state of the project and some preliminary results will be shown, in the hope of starting a nice discussion with other postgraduate researchers.

BELQUA Conference & VLIZ PhD Symposium

The WALDO project and some preliminary results were presented at the BELQUA Conference (7th of March) and at the VLIZ PhD Symposium (23th of March) by Morgan Vervoort and Despina Kyriakoudi, respectively.
