Working Group Kasemann
Welcome to the homepage of the Isotope Geochemistry group!
Drilling with international teams on three continents: The ICDP drilling project” Geological Research through Integrated Neoproterozoic Drilling - The Ediacaran-Cambrian Transition” (GRIND-ECT) began drilling in September. The researchers are particularly interested in the old seabed on the continent, where they can study and collect data on the transition between the earth ages Ediacaran and Cambrian. This can be found in today's Namibia, Brazil and southern China. It is the first drilling project of the International Integrated Drilling Project ICDP, which carries out drilling on three continents: Africa, South America and Asia. Researchers from the MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen are participating in this project.
The GRIND team has had a successful week learning the drilling data management software and hashing out the final details of the workflow!
