Last year, we collected more than 1600 meters of sediment core material and thousands of pore water samples during the IODP Baltic Sea Paleoexpedition during an intensive expedition from September 13 – November 1.
We now are meeting again in Bremen for detailed sampling and analysis of the sediment and porewater that was collected. And we are now working on the sampling of the first hole!

We’re at the Marum (Center for Marine Environmental Sciences), by the way, with a much larger group of people than on the ship. Again, we’re working in two shifts. Luckily, this time, we don’t have to cover all 24 hours of the day…and our shifts overlap so that we get more chance to talk to all team members.
The geochemists are getting started on the more detailed analyses of the pore water samples that were collected on board.
We’re looking forward to seeing the results and hope our hard work on board the ship pays off!
