SEPTEMBER: we are back!

September has arrived and we are now planning for the next steps. 

ROV inspections and sampling are on the table

Preliminary results from CORSUB1 campaign has been shared at the 13th IFAA Symposium held in Le Castella (KR; Italy) (https://cresciblureef.unimib.it/ifaa-2024/). 

The study site is quite challenging, but when things get tough, our work becomes even more fascinating.

Deliverables 3 and 4 are now available

CORSUB1 - first survey campaign done!

We are thrilled to announce that our first survey campaign has been completed.

VA Bracchi and R Tonielli worked in the studied area between 24 and 28 June 2024, collecting Side Scan Sonar and Sub-bottom Profiler data from the areas of interest. We also did a preliminary exploration by using a remote operated vehicle. 

What we can say? Targeted morphologies are there but we can't share more than this up to now.

Stay tuned to be updated!

IFAA 2024

Join us at the 13th   International Symposium on Fossil algae of the IFAA

Because of the central role of calcareous algae in the global carbon budget, especially welcome are contributions aimed at the identification and delimitation in space and time of marine habitats dominated by calcareous algae, across latitudinal gradients and in different (paleo)environmental settings.

The third circular of the IFAA 2024 is now available at THIS LINK.

WE HAVE A Logo

There is everything inside it: sea, vessel, acoustic, sampling, and our mysterious shape at seafloor.

The logo has been realized by the graphic designer Monnalisa Bracchi, starting from our ideas.
