Project description
This project aims to develop workflows that will allow efficient and detailed analysis of turbidites triggered by geo-and climate hazards, in order to accurately reconstruct these events, their magnitude and timelines. These workflows will mainly focus on medical and micro X-ray computed tomography (CT), supported by other (fast) scanning techniques, and strategically complemented by destructive analysis on subsamples.
