Other Activities

Research Cruises

IODP Expedition 363 Western Pacific Warm Pool
I sailed as a Physical Properties Specialist on IODP Exp. 363 to the Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP). Recovering 9 sites in the western equatorial Pacific and eastern Indian Ocean, this expedition aimed to understand the interaction between climate and the WPWP from the middle Miocene to Holocene.
