His research focuses on geochemistry and sedimentology of sedimentary archives to infer changes in the climate system and understand biogeochemical cycles in lakes.
Daniel, a scientist originally from Argentina, was based in Geneva, Switzerland. He has been actively involved in several ICDP projects, including the Dead Sea Deep Drilling Project (DSDDP), and is a member of the editorial board of the journal Sedimentology.

Her research focuses on ostracods and the environmental signals they preserve in lacustrine and marine sediments, contributing to the reconstruction of past climate and environmental change.
Liseth is a senior scientist originally from Guatemala and currently based in Kiel, Germany. She has been actively involved in several ICDP projects, including MexiDrill Chalco and Lake Petén Itzá, and is part of the upcoming Lake Izabal drilling initiative.

Blas is a professor at the Institute Pireneean of Ecology in Zaragoza. He is an active scientist on ICDP projects, including MexiDrill Chalco in 2016, where he focused on sedimentology & stratigraphy. His research lines include drilling &the exploration of past climate change in high altitude lakes

Although Ghent is her scientific home — where she also completed a postdoctoral fellowship — Katleen recently spent two years at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. Now, she’s packing her bags again, this time for a new research adventure in New Zealand!
She loves exploring new landscapes, cultures, & cuisines, always trying to find time to mix fieldwork & conferences with other endeavors. When she’s not working, travelling, hiking, biking or cooking (and eating!), she’s probably dancing or “singing” along to anything from Taylor Swift to Coldplay.
Today, she unravels the secrets of prehistoric earthquakes using their geological traces to understand what future ones might bring. Her study material? Sedimentary records from lakes and fjords along active subduction zones in Chile, Indonesia, and Alaska, which has taken her around the globe.
From childhood holidays in the mountains and volcano-themed computer games to studying real earthquakes — Katleen has always had a spark for Earth sciences. She earned her Master’s and PhD in Geology at Ghent University (Belgium), where she discovered her true passion: seismological research.
Meet Katleen! @katleenwils.bsky.social
Katleen is responsible for the International Network, and also helps creating the posts for our Social Media channels!

This is because they entail long records and provide access to data and sediments even after the original projects have been finalized. Apart from the most important outcomes of each ICDP project, this provides a crucial database for future studies that may address entirely new research questions.
To achieve this, he investigates loess-palaeosol-sequences and lacustrine sediments in Eurasia - for the latter archive-type also sediments in tropical W-Africa covering the last million years. Mathias is also fascinated by ICDP projects in general!
As geomorphologist with a strong palaeoclimatic, sedimentological & geochemical background, his main research interest centres on the reconstruction of local to regional climatic conditions during the Quaternary and the response of the terrestrial system including the living environment of humans.
Meet Matthias!
Matthias is working on establishing a Funding Database for all of us #ECR to use.

Outside academia, Romina loves sharing mate, listening to music, especially Argentine national rock, and spending time in her favorite place in the world: the hills of Tandil, Argentina.
Romina is especially passionate about fieldwork, from sampling lake sediments to talking with local communities near her study sites. She is involved in science outreach, particularly working with secondary school students close to the lakes she studies.
Her research targets the last millennia, aiming to reconstruct past environmental changes & identifying human impacts recorded in lake sediments. She also contributes paleomagnetic records from South America to improve our understanding of geomagnetic field behavior and the South Atlantic Anomaly.
Romina studied Physics and earned her PhD in Applied Sciences at Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina), focusing on paleomagnetism, rock magnetism, and geochemical analyses of lacustrine sediments from Argentina.

Lisa loves to travel the world and socialize, sometimes more with animals than humans though. Luckily she can combine travelling with hiking (preferably volcanoes) and water sports. Other hobbies include rock climbing and drawing. Her favorite food is pasta, which she eats multiple times per week.
